A care home for children suffering with mental health illnesses has been criticised after a recent inspection. Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspectors have raised concerns about systems at The Willow in Altrincham, Trafford.
The home has been given an overall rating of 'requires improvement'. An inspection was carried out in Ferbuary. Run by Oakfield Psychological Services, the facility provides 'therapeutic psychological support' for children and young people with mental health illnesses and additional needs.
A CQC report reads: “At the time of the inspection, systems had not been fully established to safeguard service users from abuse and improper treatment as safeguarding incidents had not always been effectively managed.
