Our History
North West Community Services was established in 1986 to support people with learning disabilities and complex mental health needs to live in the community. Working closely with a number of Health Authorities in the North West of England to provide support to people living in small registered care homes. As demand for our services increased we worked in partnership with the NHS and Local Authorities to develop our service
Safeguarding
We place great emphasis on the safeguarding of vulnerable adults from serious harm and abuse, in all its forms. We have developed our services to ensure 'best practice' and partnership working in relation to safeguarding the people we support.
We have established effective partnerships with key agencies in relation to safeguarding. We have developed very clear policies and processes to deal with any safeguarding concerns that are raised. We promote a culture of openness where everyone feels safe and able to share any concerns. When someone raises a concern relating to safeguarding they are always listened to and taken very seriously.
