Read the rest of CQC's summary
We assessed the service against ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ guidance to make judgements about whether the provider guaranteed people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted.
The service was safe, well led and person centred. Safeguarding systems were in place and staff were trained and confident in recognising and reporting concerns.
Risks were effectively assessed and reviewed, with positive behaviour support plans (PBS) focusing on prevention and de-escalation of distress. Staff consistently followed these plans, which reduced distress and supported people to enjoy meaningful activities and grow in independence.
People received personalised support from a skilled, consistent staff team who knew them well. Staff understood people’s communication needs, the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and human rights, and supported people to make choices and be involved in decisions about their care.
The service benefited from clear governance arrangements and strong leadership. Audits were used to drive improvement, and staff described managers as visible, supportive and approachable.
