Crowdfunded #OpenJustice work 2019-22

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 […]

Re-enabled Support – Inadequate

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 […]

My recent post reviewing the November CQC data release found that if you were learning disabled or autistic […]

The Phoenix and Forge House Services

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 […]

Care homes for learning disabled and autistic people in England providing inadequate care

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 […]
