Not necessarily no.

But I baulk at the reality that a private equity firm, better known for laying gas pipelines, is involved in the care of vulnerable people.

Totally agree with you , just don't know what the answer is .

Many of these private equity firms go into the care home business because they can make an astronomical amount from ripping people off. 

Where councils fail in their duty, sometimes they are 'taken over' by the Government. It should therefore be perfectly feasible where these companies also fail in their duties also to be taken over.

It's very upsetting,  thanks for your replies because it doesn't make easy reading.

"The Hesley Group - owned by private equity firm Antin Infrastructure, which is better known for investing in gas pipelines - continues to run a school and placements for adults with learning disabilities"

 

It's similar to the Winterbourne View scandal, exposed by Panorama, where the regulatory body had been informed of the abuse taking place, but the CQC did nothing.

 

 

As a kid in the early 60's I used to live near Hesley Hall - on the road between Doncaster and Tichill. It used to specialise in being a place for kids damaged by polio.

 

The founders will be turning in their graves.

This is one of the very few times I agree with you  . And the staff who abused the kids 

Indeed, when are we going to be told arrests have been made and trial dates set. For the perpetrators, the home owners, Ofsted, and anyone else who were told but chose to ignore (whistleblowers).
