Ivetsey Bank Hospital

This means we looked for evidence that people were protected from abuse and avoidable harm.

At our last assessment we rated this key question as good. At this assessment the rating has changed to inadequate. This meant people were not safe and were at risk of avoidable harm. Staff did not concentrate on improving people’s lives or protecting their right to live in safety, free from avoidable harm and neglect. The service did not work well with people to understand and manage risks. Lessons were not learnt to continually identify and embed good practice. Medicines were not always managed in line with the providers own policies.

The service was in breach of Regulation 9: Person Centered Care, 12: Safe Care and Treatment and 15 Premises and Equipment.

We issued a warning notice on Active Young People Limited on 24 April 2026 for failing to meet the regulations related to safe care and treatment at Ivetsey Bank Hospital.
