Care Quality Commission Rate Whitby Drive ‘Good’ In All Areas

Congratulations to the team at Whitby Drive in Tyne & Wear, who have been rated as ‘Good’ in all areas of their latest Care Quality Commission (CQC) Inspection.

The service, which is home to five people with learning disabilities, has been praised for its caring and dedicated staff team, and the homely atmosphere and environment created at the service.

During their inspection, regulators from CQC spoke to the staff team who complimented their manager for being supportive and committed to the team’s professional development.

Tammy Wallace, Service Leader at Whitby Drive, says: “I’m so proud of the team – this CQC report is the result of a lot of hard work from everyone. They provide such excellent support to Douglas, Justin, Andrea, Janice and John – and from the wonderful comments in the report, the inspector clearly agreed!”

Phil Pegler, Interim Chief Executive Officer for Community Integrated Care, says: “I’d like to congratulate everyone at Whitby Drive – this fantastic achievement is the result of great work from everyone involved.”

Phil continues: “Our charity strives to ensure that all of the services we provide achieve a ‘Good’ or better rating from our regulators, and Whitby Drive have demonstrated how to do this incredibly well – with well-trained, caring staff who are led by a committed manager, to deliver the very best care and support.”
