Ceredigion County Council has refused to name a residential care home for people with learning disabilities in the county at the heart of a “large-scale police” investigation last year into allegations of abuse.

The council’s overview and scrutiny co-ordinating committee heard on 20 January that “large-scale police investigations relating to allegations made against staff in a residential care home caring for people with learning disabilities” led to several recommendations from safeguarding reports being put in place.

Sian Howys, Ceredigion’s director of social services, told the committee that recommendations had arisen as a result of the investigation and it was a “positive end to that”.

The committee report states that staff whistle-blowers reported allegations of neglect, financial, physical and emotional abuse during quarters two and three last year, which were investigated by police.

The investigation ended in July last year, members heard.

The report adds there are “no cases proceeding to prosecution”, but there remained “a number of safeguarding issues concerning the staff members” which are being “managed through Safeguarding Procedures under the Professional Concerns process.”

The social services department would “continue to look at any concerns raised” about that particular home, which was unnamed in the report, with Ceredigion council citing confidentiality.

A council spokesperson said: “Ceredigion County Council is unable to confirm the identity of the home due to the confidential and sensitive nature of the information referred to in the safeguarding report and the need to protect the identity of the residents concerned.”
