We expect health and social care providers to guarantee people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices and independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ is the guidance CQC follows to make assessments and judgements about services supporting people with a learning disability and autistic people and providers must have regard to it. We looked the following quality statements in the Safe, Effective, Caring and Responsive key questions as part of this assessment. Safeguarding, Involving people to manage risks, Staffing, Assessing needs, Consent to care and treatment, Independence choice and control and Equity in experience and outcomes. The service has achieved an overall rating of good across the key questions and across all the quality statements we looked at as part of this assessment. Please see the full report for details.
