Recommendation, verbatim from the inquiry

●Inquiry recommendation

People with learning disabilities and autistic people and their families should be provided with clear, written information outlining the available pathways for raising concerns. This information should clearly distinguish between an enquiry, a concern and a complaint. Individuals should then be asked to select the option that they feel best aligns with their needs. This selection should be recorded at ward or residential level and confirmed with the individual raising the issue.
