This paper is based upon ideas developed by the authors during their past 6 years work on issues of sexuality and sexual abuse in a wide range of learning disability settings in Britain. Argues that some features of service design in themselves make sexual abuse more likely to occur. Suggests ways of reducing risk, which should work alongside the more usually suggested educative approaches to individuals and groups of vulnerable people.
