Staff had achieved outstanding outcomes for #autistic people by supporting medical professionals to reduce or stop a reliance on medicines and explore alternative ways to help people manage their needs.

The provider identified a previously unrecognised negative impact on a person's wellbeing due to the side effect of an anti-psychotic medicine.

As a result, people were able to be more independent in their new homes.

One staff said of three people,

"They weren't allowed in the kitchen at their previous place, and now they make pizzas.

They vacuum, they clean the floors, they are just involved in everything."

"The inspection was prompted in part by notification of an incident following which a person using the service sustained harm.

This incident is subject to further investigation by CQC as to whether any regulatory action should be taken.

As a result, this inspection did not examine the circumstances of the incident.

However, the information shared with CQC about the incident indicated potential concerns about the management of risk of safeguarding, reporting and training"

CQC have published two reports into Achieve Together services this month, while they were picking up awards, people they are paid to support were at risk of abuse and neglect.

First up Inglewood House, inadequate since May 2022.

This was an unannounced targeted inspection because of concerns that CQC had received relating to safeguarding.
