Person giving report: John Jackson, Director for Social & Community Services
In May 2011, serious abuse was uncovered at Winterbourne View, a private specialist hospital for adults with a learning disability and mental health needs. A secret film was broadcast by the BBC's Panorama programme, showing people with a learning disability being teased and taunted, inappropriately restrained, and being sprayed with a shower hose.
Following the programme, a series of investigations took place. In December 2012 the Department of health published Transforming care: A national response to Winterbourne View Hospital. This set out key actions for organisations across the health and social care system. A national Joint Improvement Programme has been established to support and oversee the delivery of the actions.
A report by the Director for Social & Community Services is attached at HWB11, together with the ‘Stocktake Winterbourne View Joint Improvement Programme Oxfordshire’ document setting out how Oxfordshire has responded to these actions.
Action Required: The Board is asked to note the report and Stocktake document..
