Declare Your Care is a year-long, campaign focusing on four key population groups which we know have lower awareness of CQC.
Key findings for people with a learning disability their family, carers and advocates
Our research reveals that people with a learning disability are more likely to regret not complaining about poor care than those without. The main reasons they or their carers to want to raise a concern are:
- lack of information about a health condition
- treatment options are not well explained.
Our research looked at people with learning disabilities in England who have had experience of health or social care in the last 5 years. We included both patients and carers.
- Half of adults said that they have wanted to raise a complaint about the lack of information about their care or treatment.
- They are 17% more likely to regret not complaining about poor care than people without learning disabilities.
- They are twice as likely to have concerns about maternity services and mental health services than people without learning disabilities.
