New ratings awarded to social care services in West Sussex
The latest scores for social care services in West Sussex have been released – with four services given new ratings.
The Care Quality Commission is in charge of inspecting social care services across England. The organisation judges care providers across various metrics – with the best possible rating being 'outstanding', and the worst 'inadequate'.

Hide AdFigures for the last month show ratings were given to the following care homes in West Sussex:
• Glen Arun Care Home: Good, last inspected on July 11.
• Beachview: Inadequate, last inspected on April 20.
Other social care services in the area were also rated:
• Monaveen: Requires improvement, last inspected on June 28.
• Guardian Angel Carers Ltd: Good, last inspected on May 9.
The CQC gives organisations four different ratings. The worst is an 'inadequate' rating, which ordinarily results in the organisation being placed in special measures by the CQC. Social care services can also be given a less serious rating of 'requires improvement' when they are not up to standard.
At the other end of the scale, services given 'outstanding' ratings are judged to be performing exceptionally well, and a 'good' rating means the organisation is meeting expectations.
