CQC visit recognises Sheffield Children’s progress

We welcomed the CQC’s visit and their feedback on our services at this particularly challenging time for children’s mental health.

We were pleased they found that colleagues were well trained, lodges were clean and COVID-safe and that patient risks were well managed.

We recognise that difficulties with recruitment have resulted in us not always being able to provide care to the standard we would want. We have already made significant progress on the issues raised, allowing us to give more support to the vulnerable children in our care. The CQC has recognised the progress we’ve made since July.

We would also like to acknowledge the commitment and efforts of our team at Becton, who despite the pressures on mental health services nationally, have worked incredibly hard to provide the best possible care for children and young people they can, and to continue to improve the service we offer.
