Key points from CQC's visit

  • We expect health and social care providers to guarantee autistic people and people with a learning disability the choices, dignity, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted.
  • The service has not been developed and designed in line with the principles and values that underpin right support, right care, right culture and other best practice guidance.
  • The guidance ensures that people who use the service can live as full a life as possible and achieve the best possible outcomes.
  • The principles reflect the need for people with learning disabilities and/or autism to live meaningful lives that include control, choice, and independence.
