Regulation of services for autistic people and/or people with a learning disability - CPA response

8 October 2020

The Care Quality Commission has updated its guidance on the regulation of services for autistic people and/or people with a learning disability.

Kathy Roberts, chair of the Care Provider Alliance – the national body representing over 10,000 care providers – responded to the announcement saying:

“Good quality care is all about outcomes. It can, and must, enable people to have fulfilling, meaningful lives – not simply to be safe and comfortable. That is why the Care Provider Alliance welcomes CQC’s revised guidance on the regulation of services for autistic people and people with a learning disability and their increased focus on outcomes, human rights and dignity.

“We look forward to continuing to work with CQC on their approach to regulation – and we are particularly pleased to see their commitment to supporting care providers prior to requesting registration.”
