Members Area – Welcome!
20th August 2016.
Welcome to our new ‘members area’. This is for the exclusive use of Rescare’s membership. We decided to create this area on our website so that members could have access to back-editions of Resnews. You will initially have access to 17 past editions, dating back to Spring 2012 when we first produced our newsletter in the PDF format; future editions of Resnews will also appear here.
We also intend to expand this section during the next few months to include more information about the Care Act and other topics that can affect our members, such as Best Interests and benefits. As always, we welcome feedback and suggestions on how we could improve.

Chief Executive

Access details of the report, view the Press Release launching it , and download the Summary and Full Report from this page on the CQC website. A key finding of the report is that "a better system of care is needed for people with a learning disability or autism who are, or are at risk of, being hospitalised, segregated and placed in overly restrictive environments".
