1 story · 1 council

Southwark Council's adult social care services, encompassing occupational therapy assessments, received a 'Good' CQC rating in October 2026.

Southwark Council's adult social care services, which include evaluations by occupational therapists to determine a person's ability to perform daily tasks, were rated 'Good' by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in October 2026. The Health, Adult Social Care and Community Safety Scrutiny Commission heard the CQC report highlighted strengths like a person-centred approach and compassionate staff.

Despite the positive rating, the CQC report noted a significant shortage of nursing home provision in Southwark, leading to residents being placed out of area. No upcoming meetings are currently scheduled to discuss occupational therapy assessments specifically.
