“Unpaid carers contribute so much, but far too often at a cost to themselves. Our report shows a clear and persistent gap between the aim of including carers and what actually happens day-to-day.”

What Claire Lamza has said

  • “We observed that it wasn't conducted the way we would expect it to be. It wasn't well documented, it wasn't clear what was happening and, in one particular incident, we didn't think it was a proportionate restraint.”

  • “The lack of staffing meant that there weren't enough to be able to support young people when they were in distress. The staff that were coming in didn't necessarily have the training and the skills and the competencies to be able to meet the needs of these young people.”
