I’ll start with an apology. I am very sorry, this blog post is long overdue. When I started crowdfunding my Open Justice work I always intended to report annually on my work, I did this for 2018-19 here and then life got in the way/ I dropped the ball. In early 2020 I was caring […]
What do you get if you cross an electrician and a psychiatric nurse practitioner? Inadequate care for vulnerable people. At least that’s the case here. Whenever I see a CQC report with this many domains marked inadequate I have to dig a little deeper. I usually start on the CQC’s own website. Which on this […]
One of the reports from CQC in November updated an earlier inspection reports with a record of enforcement action taken, as follows: Virtue Care Ltd, 42 Alexandra Road – a condition was placed on the provider’s registration The registered person must not accept any new packages of care providing the regulated activity of ‘Personal care’ […]
A couple days ago I wrote a post about Achieve Together collecting awards for supposed excellence from Laing Buisson, at the very same time as the health and social care regulator, CQC, were finding their services to be failing people, not just a little, but a lot.

I’ve been reporting on the care services that CQC have found to be inadequate routinely for five months now and one of the providers that come up time and again are Achieve Together. If you were to pop over to their website right now you could be mistaken for thinking you were at the wrong […]
I’ve not even opened this report yet but I’m feeling uneasy. In part due to the large number of red dots indicating the sheer state of the place, but also because Autism Anglia are a charitable provider. My recent post reviewing the November CQC data release found that if you were learning disabled or autistic […]
Two more updates on social care for learning disabled and/or autistic people that CQC have recently rated inadequate. You can see all the reports on the Curated Content section of my site here, if you’d like to just go straight to the relevant CQC information without my commentary. First up today, Heathcotes Yorkshire Supported Living, […]
This is the first blog post reporting on the detail of Care Quality Commission reports finding inadequate care, that I’ve written, rather than sharing the information on Twitter. Consider it a little experimental, I’m going to pick and choose what to highlight and would welcome feedback on whether its useful. Given the number of reports […]
Since July 2022 I’ve been regularly reporting on care for learning disabled and autistic people that the regulator in England, the Care Quality Commission, has found to be inadequate. I have been using Twitter to share the reports, the overview findings, lowlights (they definitely aren’t highlights) and any action taken by the regulator. I was […]
