Part of the material produced by the Healthcare Commission to support the findings from the national audit of specialist inpatient healthcare services for people with learning difficulties in England, this report provides details on the findings relating specifically to services for young people and adolescents. It is intended to be read alongside the full report of the audit, 'A Life Like No Other'. The exercise identified eight specialist inpatient healthcare services for adolescents across England, and as part of the audit six of these were visited. This report sets out the findings in the following areas: number and type of services; peer review visits; my needs; my choices; my day; my rights; me, and others; my wellbeing; staff; monitoring services; commissioning issues. Conclusions and recommendations are then summarised. It concludes that, from the evidence in the audit, young people in specialist services for adolescents are generally safe and protected from abuse, have their health needs met overall, and are well supported by staff, who receive the mandatory training they need to help young people. It discusses the findings and issues raised, and describes proposed next steps.

Easy-read version of the draft three-year plan for adults with learning disabilities.

Plans include: an audit of all inpatient care being provided for people with learning difficulties; investigating remaining long stay hospitals for people with learning difficulties; reviewing care of people with learning difficulties placed outside their local area; and increasing the accessibility of the commission's services so that people with learning difficulties can make complaints about their care more easily.
