Ratings - Community mental health services for people with a learning disability or autism
Our view of the service
Date of assessment: 12 November 2024 The service was last rated good (published May 2019). This assessment has been completed following the Care Quality Commission (CQC) new approach to assessment; Single Assessment Framework (SAF). 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. This was an unannounced assessment, which means the provider was not told an assessment was going to be starting beforehand. During this assessment we looked at 7 quality statements across 1 key question: learning culture, safe systems, pathways and transitions, safeguarding, involving people to manage risks, safe environments, safe and effective staffing and infection, prevention and control. Therefore, the key question safe has been re rated and reflects the findings from this assessment. The ratings for the key questions; effective, caring, responsive and well led have been taken from inspections carried out using the old methodology. We visited 3 of the community mental health intellectual difficulties and disability (IDD) services provided by Nottinghamshire Healthcare Trust. These were ICATT (Intensive Community Assessment and Treatment Teams in the north of the county, the ICATT team in the south of the county and Ashfield community IDD service. The service is made up of various clinicians, who worked alongside other partners. During this assessment we found this service to be safe.
