Choosing a provider

A registered specialism means the provider has told CQC it supports those with a learning disability; it does not tell you how much experience its staff have. Ask how many current clients have similar needs, what training carers receive, how they keep the same small team, and how they handle distress or refusals. Then read the latest CQC report, not just the rating.

More to ask:

  • How do you reduce restrictive practices?
  • How do you support work, education, hobbies and relationships?
  • How do you follow "Right support, right care, right culture"?
