Family / Carer Experts Wanted

As part of a review of all learning disability services (following the recent Winterbourne View scandal) the Care Quality Commission is to undertake a programme of unannounced inspections of services for people with learning disabilities. The Inspections will focus on the care and welfare of service users and safeguarding service users from abuse. They will be carried out by inspectors supported by ‘experts by experience’ and also a family/carer expert (of someone who has a learning disability and has or uses services) under the CQC’s ‘Acting Together’ initiative.

Inclusion North has been asked to recruit family/carer experts specifically for these inspections. If you are interested or want to know more about the role of family / carer experts, please contact Scott Cunningham at Inclusion North on:
