The team s first mission was to attend an incident in Bishop s Stortford after receiving a call for help from the East of England Ambulance Service.
The CQC asked the Equality and Human Rights Commission to consider taking enforcement action, with the body finding the trust had been unable to demonstrate what work was being carried out despite training and changes to safeguarding policies, around safer recruitment and suspension.
Alastair Pringle, interim chief executive at the Equality and Human Rights Commission, said: “We expect our emergency health services to be a beacon of safety and security when we’re most in need. We were extremely concerned to hear about the issues raised at the East of England Ambulance Trust. No one should feel unsafe or threatened at work.
