Trafford Care Services Under Fire | Manchester News

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

Trafford’s adult social care is under fire with a “requires improvement” rating, exposing crippling delays—sometimes over a year—for vital services like occupational therapy and home adaptations, alongside plummeting user satisfaction at just 58%. Inspectors also found broken safeguarding learning systems, payment chaos for emergency placements, and alarming numbers of people placed out of area without proper reviews. This follows last year’s damning “inadequate” report on children’s services, painting a troubling picture of systemic failure. But there’s momentum: leaders are acting, waiting times are falling, new protocols are rolling out, and fresh leadership is focused on turning things around—though urgent, sustained effort remains critical to restore trust and safety for residents.
