About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 15 September 2020. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Newcastle Learning Disabilities Service provides personal care for adults with learning disabilities, or who have needs relating to their mental health, either in their own home or within supported tenancies. Supported tenancies enable people with physical or learning disabilities, or who have other care and support needs, to live in their own home. The service operates from an office in Newcastle upon Tyne. At the time of the inspection there were 23 people in receipt of a service.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Newcastle Learning Disabilities Service is not regulated to provide accommodation which meant we did not inspect people's premises.
This inspection took place on 18 August 2020, with further phone calls with relatives and external professionals on 19 and 20 August 2020.
The service had two registered managers in place. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are 'registered persons'. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the service is run.
The registered managers had suitable experience relevant to the needs of people who used the service.
