What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's assessment published 19 November 2025 (assessment visit 5 September 2025). Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Shine Partnerships provides care and support to people with mental health needs who have a forensic history. The service provides care and support to people living in several houses so that they can live as independently as possible. Not everyone using Shine Partnerships receives the regulated activity of personal care, which is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do, we also take into account any wider social care provided. At the time of this assessment there were 3 people at the service who were receiving a regulated activity. People’s care and housing are provided under separate contractual agreements. CQC does not regulate the premises used for supported living; this inspection looked at people's personal care and support.
Systems and processes were in place to keep people safe, and risks associated with people's care needs were assessed. There were enough staff to meet people's needs and recruitment processes and procedures were robust. Most people administered their own medicines and these were managed safely.
