7 Days of Action – Care BnB
7 Days of Assessment and Treatment Unit (ATU) Action is
a campaign to raise awareness of the thousands of
learning disabled people currently being held against their
wishes in assessment and treatment units.
Find out about it at https://theatuscandal.wordpress.com/
Stay up Late has started a way for people to support the
action.
Often families have to travel hundreds of miles to visit the
person held in the ATU.
They have created a Google Map with the locations of the
ATU and are asking for people to offer free
accommodation to these families.
If you can offer help to families visiting ATUs you can find
more information here

CQC review of how NHS trusts investigate and learn from deaths
The CQC is carrying out a review of how NHS trusts look at and report to learn from deaths of people using their services.
This request is from the Secretary of State for Health as part of the Governments response to the Mazars report of deaths of people with a learning disability at Southern Health.
The CQC will look at the quality of work that is done when identifying, reporting and investigating the death anyone in a hospital, care in a community setting or in their own home when services are managed by an NHS Trust.
“CQC’s review aims to find out to what extent NHS trusts are learning organisations when it comes to investigating the deaths of people under their care and how well they support and engage with the families of people who have died.”
The work will be supported by Expert Advisors and involve families and organisations who work with families.
Further information can be found by joining the online community here
