What to check before you choose

  • A listed specialism is self-declared and does not prove experience.
  • Ask about clients with similar needs and the training staff get.
  • Check continuity (a small regular team) and how upset or refusals are handled.
  • Read the full report, not only the grade.

Other questions to put to each provider:

  • How do you support recovery goals, not just daily care?
  • What mental health training do staff have?
  • How do you manage medication and side effects?
