Updated 14 April 2020

We carried out a desk top follow up inspection at Huddersfield Road Partnership on 25 March 2020. At this inspection we followed up on breaches of regulations identified at a previous inspection on 11 September 2019.

We based our judgement of the quality of care at this service on a combination of:

  • Documentation and information from the provider and
  • information from our ongoing monitoring of data about services.

At the last inspection in September 2019 we rated the practice as requires improvement for providing well led services because safety risk management processes and systems and processes to ensure good governance in accordance with the fundamental standards of care were not effective.

At this inspection, we found the provider had satisfactorily addressed these issues.

We have rated this practice as good for well led and good overall.

We rated the practice good for providing well led services because:

  • Systems and processes to manage and monitor risks at both sites had been implemented and were being regularly monitored.

Details of our findings and the evidence supporting our ratings are set out in the evidence tables.
