Care Quality Commission publishes focused inspection report on South Tyneside NHS Foundation Trust

The Care Quality Commission has published a focused inspection report on safeguarding children and young people at the trust following an inspection in July this year.

At an inspection in July 2016 we told them that they must make further improvements to protect children and young people who may be at risk of harm. At this latest inspection we returned to check on the progress of improvements we told them to make.

Further improvements were found and the inspection report is available on our website.
