The report identifies the continuing increase in the number of adult protection referrals and the workload associated with this. It is likely that this reflects in significant part the increased awareness of staff working with vulnerable adults (and their concerned families). Another key finding of the report is that the largest number of referrals across Wales over a number of years are consistently for older people, followed by those for people with learning disabilities.

Sets out the findings of the national inspection of quality and safety of care and support for adults with learning disabilities. The inspection includes fieldwork in six local authorities and corresponding health boards; the results of a thematic enquiry into services for people with learning disabilities regulated by CSSIW; and the results of a national data and self-assessment survey undertaken in all 22 local authorities in Wales. Inspectors focused on a number areas including: support for carers; whether local authorities provide information, advice and assistance; and whether or not local authorities have good leadership and governance arrangements. Inspectors from Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW) also looked at the efficacy of the partnership between social services and health. Findings of the report looks at what is working well and areas for improvement under the following themes: understanding need, providing effective care and support, and leading in partnership. The report found that the quality of care and support for many people with learning disabilities depended on the effectiveness of the front line social services and health staff and the assertiveness of relatives. The report makes a number of recommendations, including: that local authorities review their quality assurance arrangements for care and support planning with individuals; for local authorities and health boards to share best practice; and for local authorities and health boards to ensure that the lines of accountability and responsibility in relation to adult safeguarding are clear and understood by staff.

This report is the first of two joint inspections about the treatment of people with learning disabilities within the criminal justice system. The inspection covered activity at police stations, the prosecution and court process, pre-sentence report (PSR) preparation, and the assessment and planning undertaken at the start of the community order. The inspection found that offenders with learning disabilities were not always afforded the level of service appropriate to the risk of harm they presented or to their needs. Problems included a failure to recognise a learning disability, and failure to refer the offender to specialist services for assessment. The inspection regularly found an absence of access to specialist support that would tackle offending behaviour and manage the risk of harm posed to the public. There was concern that the processes, absence of services or a simple lack of knowledge and training often led to offenders with a learning disability being perceived as a problem to be processed, rather than an individual with particular needs requiring individual treatment. Although there were some pockets of good practice and examples of practitioners ‘going the extra mile’ to ensure that these offenders received the support and treatment they needed, the examples of good practice cited in the report were the exception rather than the norm. The report concludes that people with a learning disability have very different learning needs from the majority of the population. The failure to properly consider the implications of an offender’s learning disability in PSRs and initial assessments meant that there was less chance of the offender successfully engaging in activities designed to reduce the likelihood of reoffending or reduce their risk of harm.
