We’re delighted to share these results with our valued stakeholders - commissioners, families, friends and supporters of our mission. This report provides a comprehensive view of our achievements and insights on how we’re shaping the future of our services.
CQC Quality Statement Scores: A Snapshot of Success
The CQC’s evaluation process is rigorous, covering 34 ‘Quality Statements’ in areas such as safety, effectiveness and leadership. Our results reflect a strong dedication to excellence, with four ‘Outstanding’ ratings and thirty ‘Good’ ratings across the board, with no areas requiring improvement.
Our four Outstanding scores highlight success in key areas:
- Safe Learning Culture - Emphasising safety and continuous improvement to support everyone in our community.

- Workforce Wellbeing and Enablement - The wellbeing of our staff is central to our success, empowering them to provide the best care.
- Well-Led Learning, Improvement and Innovation - Effective leadership and innovative practices, ensure our services remain responsive and adaptive.
A Summary of Our Ratings: From Good to Outstanding
Overall, Grey Gables was evaluated across 106 areas/evidence categories, with 13 rated as Outstanding and the remainder as Good. Notably, nine of the Outstanding ratings were awarded specifically for our processes, reflecting the systems we have developed to ensure consistently high standards of care.
