Our view of the service

Date of assessment: 5 August to 23 August 2024. This assessment was completed due to concerns about the providers oversight of their services and shortfalls found at other services. We assessed a small number of quality statements from all the key questions and found areas of good practice. The scores for these areas have been combined with scores based on the key question ratings from the last inspection. We have 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. We found people were being supported to live their lives as independently as possible. People were involved in managing risk and making decisions, when able. They were supported by enough staff, who had received appropriate training and supervision. People were encouraged and supported to follow their interests and spent much of their time outside of the service.
