The winterbourne view case if a very well known of a failure of protection from abuse. Winterbourne view is a privately owned care home by Castle Beck in Hambrook, South Gloucestershire for adults with learning disabilities and autism. The house bedded 26 service users and sadly these service users were not treated correctly.
Winterbourne view was known for the abuse to the service users before it eventually got investigated. Staff that worked at Winterbourne quit their jobs because they could not deal with watching the abuse. These staff had whistle blew this abuse to CQC but it was not investigated. CQC did unexpected inspections and still did not notice the abuse. Staff used physical intervention to a excuse of abuse. They would attack and restrain service users for their own entertainment and write in the paper work they had been attacked themselves and was only using physical intervention. This how they used to cover up the fact they was abuses. A man from the BBC called Joe Casey went into Winterbourne View as a support worker secretly recording the abuse for a television documentary called Paranorma. Joe had to go under cover as a support worker so he could get all the evidence for CQC to finally investigate and listen to the staff complaints.
During the five weeks that Joe spent filming undercover he captured footage of 13 main staff abusing physically and verbally vulnerable service users. They were being repeatedly pinned down, slapped, dragged into showers while fully clothed, taunted and teased. Staff that was not included in the abuse described the abuse as torture and that they no longer could watch it.
A 18 year old service user named Simone was severely verbally abused and physically by three men - aged 42, 30 and 25 and a women that was 24 years old.
