How we are doing
Lessons learned
We utilise several mechanisms to ensure that lessons are learned. These include learning from incidents, feedback including complaints and compliments, surveys, audit and announced and unannounced visits.
Regional publications are made available on the NHS England website as they are released - with mental health homicide review publications also being available.
Statutory inquiry into the case of Valdo Calocane
The Prime Minister announced in February 2025 that there would be a statutory public inquiry into the triple homicide that occurred in Nottingham in June 2023.
On Friday 23 May 2025, the Terms of Reference of the public inquiry (The Nottingham Inquiry) were published - you can find more details about the Terms of Reference of the Inquiry here .
This announcement followed the publication on 5 February 2025 of an independent homicide report into the events of June 2023. The link to the independent homicide full report on NHSE website Independent mental health homicide report into the treatment of Valdo Calocane .
On the announcement of the statutory public inquiry, Chief Executive Ifti Majid went on public record to say: Our thoughts continue to be with the families of those who died - Ian, Grace and Barnaby - and those who were injured - Wayne, Sharon and Marcion.
We absolutely commit to co-operating fully with the statutory inquiry.
The Trust has developed a comprehensive integrated improvement plan to address the key learning points and missed opportunities since the tragic events of June 2023, with the plan involving improvements to Trust policy, processes and training. Progress on the integrated improvement plan is reported regularly as part of our Board of Directors meetings.

Compliance with the NHS Provider Licence
On being established as an NHS Foundation Trust from 1 March 2015, the Trust has been required to comply with the conditions as set out in the NHS Provider Licence. The Licence, which replaced the former Terms of Authorisation for Foundation Trusts, is the main tool used by NHSI to regulate providers of NHS services.
NHSI may take action against an NHS Foundation Trust if the organisation is in breach of its Licence conditions. It is therefore important that the Trust is assured of its compliance, is able to evidence and where weaknesses in compliance are identified that these are appropriately addressed.
In February 2024, the Trust was placed into segment 4 of the NHS Oversight Framework and entered the Recovery Support Programme, signifying a need for mandated support and heightened regulatory oversight. In response, NHS England has issued enforcement undertakings, pursuant to its powers under section 106 of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 which outline specific actions required to address those concerns.
