A residential family assessment centre which works with the courts and local authorities has been told by inspectors it ‘still requires improvement to be good’. Privately-run Kaleidoscope Assessment Services Ltd in Stretford was visited on April 4 after it was deemed ‘inadequate’ in December 2022 followed by a monitoring inspection in January.
Then, inspectors found that ‘suitable action’ had been taken to meet three statutory compliance notices, but fell short on two more. It did not meet the requirement that the facility was managed with ‘sufficient care, competence and skill’.
“In particular, the registered person should ensure that monitoring arrangements for the centre meet requirements, clearly identify shortfalls and provide evidence for the action that has been taken to make improvements,” the report said.
