NICE quality standard covering the prevention, assessment and management of mental health problems in people with learning disabilities in all settings, including health, social care, education, and forensic and criminal justice. The standard describes what high-quality care looks like in five priority areas. The five quality statements for people with learning disabilities and mental health problems are: for annual health checks to include a review of mental health problems; that mental health assessments are carried out by a professional with expertise in mental health problems; that people with learning disabilities and a serious mental illness have a key worker to coordinate their care; that any psychological interventions are tailored to the preferences of people with learning disabilities and mental health problems; and annually documenting the reasons for continuing antipsychotic drugs. Each quality statement includes the rationale for the statement and suggestions for quality measures that can be used to monitor performance to the standard.
