Hampshire Autistic Society currently provides five residential units within the Portsmouth Locality, all registered with the Commission for Social Care inspection. The Locality Office, Day Service, Domiciliary Service, and Training Department are all based at Anglesey Lodge in Alverstoke, Gosport.

Our services for people with Autism began in 1980 with the establishment of Anglesey Lodge as a residential School. As the students approached school leaving age, it became clear that there was a requirement for adult services. Please click on the links above for information on the individual Residential Units.

This audit tool has been developed by the Hampshire Autistic Society to obtain and maintain confidence that the services it provides are centred around the individual, are autism focussed and meet individual needs. It has been designed to check how well individuals using the Hampshire Autistic Society services are supported to achieve their full potential, it forms part of the Society's overall performance management strategy and complements the regulatory audits of services by CSCI and Ofsted.

The Quality Audit Review of Ford Road took place between the 10th and 27th March 2008. This was the first review using the recently developed Hampshire Autistic Society Quality Audit Tool. The review had two purposes, firstly to review the service provided to the individuals living in Ford Road and secondly, to be a pilot for the audit tool process itself.

Following on from the audit we created an action plan the results of which are included under "What we have Done" in the following diagram.
