This paper reviews the need for, and development of, specialist deaf secure mental health services. The authors begin by giving a brief overview of deafness and the relationship between deafness, mental health problems and offending. They go on to summarise the literature and the Department of Health (DoH) guidance and provide a description of the current UK services. In 2001, Young et al. highlighted the needs of deaf mentally disordered offenders and the requirement for specialist forensic mental health services for this group. Since then several DoH guidance documents have been published and there have been substantial service developments.
