Since the scandal of Winterbourne View exposed the abuse of people with learning disabilities in inpatient settings, the CBF has been campaigning to ensure the Transforming Care work is shaped by people with lived experience. We are pleased that at last there is a report that confirms families have valuable experiences and insight to share. There are significant issues identified in this report, which need to be addressed urgently. CBF will continue to support families to influence, shape and hold to account the Transforming Care programme and look forward to the recommendations in this report being implemented by National and local Transforming Care teams.
