2022-07-15Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementEssex Shared Lives received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because, following its transfer to Essex County Council in June 2021, significant gaps were identified in record-keeping, training compliance, and documentation for both existing hosts and people using the service. However, despite these administrative shortfalls, people reported feeling safe and receiving caring, compassionate support, with no evidence that these issues directly impacted the quality of care provided.
