The inspection, summarised
- People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
- Complaints, concerns and constructive feedback was addressed.
- However, the provider needs to ensure the process is fully followed and documented as per their policy and procedures.
- 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.
