Examines progress made in fulfilling the government commitment, following the Winterbourne View scandal in 2011, to discharging inpatients with learning difficulties and challenging behaviour back to their homes and communities. The inquiry found that the number of people with learning disabilities remaining in hospital has not fallen, and has been broadly stable at around 3,200. The report recognises the complexity of the task in designing and commissioning a model of community based care and welcomes the commitment to set out, within the next six months, a closure programme for large mental health hospitals, and to provide a transition plan for people within these hospitals, from 2016–17. The report recommends that proper consideration be given not just to building capacity in the community, but also to enshrining in law patients’, and their families’, right to challenge the decisions taken, whether they are about treatment, admission to mental health hospital, or community care services provided.

The Government response to the Care Quality Commission's report on the use of restraint, seclusion and segregation in care services. The report described the current state of the care system for children, young people and adults who are subject to restrictive interventions, and who are cared for in a range of settings, focusing on learning disabilities and autism. The report made four key recommendations: people with a learning disability and or autistic people who may also have a mental health condition should be supported to live in their communities; people who are being cared for in hospital must receive high-quality, person-centred, specialised care in small units; there must be renewed attempts to reduce restrictive practice by all health and social care providers, commissioners and others; there must be increased oversight and accountability for people with a learning disability, and or autistic people who may also have a mental health problem.

A draft framework from the Welsh Government providing non-statutory guidance with the aim of promoting practice that will lead to a reduction of restrictive practices for both adults and children. Where restrictive practices are used, it also aims to ensure that this is informed by person centred planning and in a way which safeguards the individual, those whom they interact with, and those who provide services to them. Sections of the framework cover: working in a human rights framework for the reduction of restrictive practices; understanding the importance of positive behaviour support; understanding the importance of reducing restrictive practices; and principles for restrictive practices. The framework is applicable across childcare, education, health and social care sectors. It will replace the Framework for restrictive physical intervention policy and practice, published in (2005) and is open to consultation until 6 January 2020. (Edited publisher abstract)

In May 2011 a BBC Panorama programme showed abuse by staff of patients living in Winterbourne View Hospital, an independent sector hospital in Bristol. This interim report, published before the conclusion of police investigations, criminal proceedings and a serious case review, sets out initial findings from a review into the quality of health and care services received by people in England with learning disabilities, autism and challenging behaviour. It is based on Care Quality Commission inspection reports of 150 hospitals and care homes for people with learning disabilities and engagement with people with learning disabilities and autism, family carers' voluntary groups, and health and care commissioners, providers, professionals and regulators. It reports that initial findings indicate that abuse is not widespread and systemic but that there is evidence of poor quality care, and it identifies actions to be taken at a national level to improve the lives of people with learning disabilities or autism and behaviour which challenges. The final report will be published when criminal proceedings into events at Winterbourne View Hospital have concluded.
