History

CMG was established by Michael Buckinghams in 1996. In 2003, venture capital group ISIS Equity Partners backed a £30 million management buy-out.[1][2]

The company formerly operated care homes. In 2008, Chai Patel took control of CMG, which was previously owned by a private equity firm.[3]

It applied in April 2017 to increase the maximum number of people at its Cherry Tree service in Essex from seven to 10 and was refused by the Care Quality Commission because it did not comply with its Registering the Right Support policy guidance to not develop campus site services. The company appealed to a care standards tribunal panel which upheld the CQC’s decision.[4]

gollark: That would somewhat defeat the point of having a decentralized platform thing.
gollark: Well, I might look at joining matrix or whatever then. One of the reasons I don't have any fediverse/whatever stuff set up is that I currently only have access to a free domain which might randomly decide to to unexist, and I don't want that to get stuck in remote config files everywhere.
gollark: I'd imagine it mostly attracts... open-source-stuff people, and also has smallish groups.
gollark: What sort of stuff actually is on there?
gollark: They do, but the question is how much Discord actually *cares*.
