The commission visited 11 community mental health services in Bristol, South Gloucs, BANES, Swindon and Wiltshire, reporting on a range of specialist services provides care and support to people in their homes and other community settings.
The review of community services found that the trust was failing to meet four of the five standards reviewed.
