Beckoning House Limited

“An assessment has been undertaken of a service that is used by autistic people or people with a learning disability but is not registered as a specialist service. We have assessed the service against ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ guidance to make judgements about whether the provider guaranteed people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted.”

“We found a breaches of regulations in relation to, person-centred care, safe care and treatment, good governance and fit and proper persons employed. Care plans did not contain enough information to ensure staff knew how to deliver appropriate person-centred care. Information relating to a person’s individual risks were not always recorded, up-to-date or did not provide enough detail as to how identified risks should be managed and mitigated. The registered manager’s governance arrangements did not always provide assurance the service was well led. Quality assurance systems were not robust and had not identified the shortfalls we found during our inspection. Suitable arrangements were not in place to ensure all staff employed were safely recruited.”

“In instances where CQC has begun a process of regulatory action, we may publish this information on our website after any representations and/or appeals have been concluded, if the action has been taken forward.”

“We have asked the provider for an action plan in response to the concerns found at this assessment.”
