Flexi Care & Support...
Quality Assurance
At Flexi Care & Support, we aim to provide a positive, enriching experience and the best possible outcomes for everyone accessing our services.
Our service respects people’s rights, privacy and dignity and is committed to enhancing the quality of life of each and every individual we work with. We recognise that continuous quality improvement and development of our services is the only way to achieve this.
That’s why, as well as following the Care Quality Commission’s (CQC) standards and other local and national quality schemes, we also are signed up to the Driving Up Quality Code.
Following the shocking abuse of people with learning disabilities at Winterbourne View, the government and many other organisations are taking action to make sure that this never happens again.
We and many other providers have made a commitment to listen to the people we support and support them to build lives that have meaning for them.
The Driving up Quality Code sets out five key standards:
- Support is focused on the person
- The person is supported to have an ordinary and meaningful life
- Care and support focus on people being happy and having a good quality of life
- A good culture is important to the organisation
- Managers and board members lead and run the organisation well
By committing to the Driving up Quality Code we can help to ensure that abusive services such as Winterbourne View are never repeated.

The Recognised Provider List (RPL) lets adults who are looking for packages of care and support in Barnsley choose from a list of providers that follow a clear quality framework.
In order to have recognised provider status and the quality mark, FlexiCare & Support have met a set of standards determined by Barnsley MBC. Only providers who have met this quality criteria, can display the RPL Logo.
The RPL is for adults requiring services who are either in receipt of a direct payment, including supported managed accounts (SMA), or who are private self-funders.

We value feedback from the people who use our services, their family and carers, our staff, service commissioners and other professionals.
