Care home registration refusal

In an unusual case reported on the CQC website, the FTT tribunal has upheld the refusal by CQC of registration of a provider of services to those with learning disabilities on the basis that it did not demonstrate it would comply with CQC’s policy ‘Registering the Right Support’ – as well as the underpinning national guidance – that states new services and variations to registrations within a campus and congregate setting should not be developed due to this model of care not being in the best interests of people with a learning disability.
