Drawing on an analysis of data and the results of hospital visits to speak to children, this report explores the experience of children with a learning disability or autism who are admitted to child and adolescent mental health hospitals for long periods. It looks issues such as the quality of care, access to education, participation in activities, the use of seclusion and restraint, and medication. It also considers the reasons children with a learning disability or autism can be in hospital unnecessarily. This may be due to a lack of specialist community provision, a lack of support at home, or financial incentives to keep children in hospital. The research shows that numbers of children with a learning disability or autism identified in mental health hospitals is increasing; children are being detained in hospital for too long; and children are often placed too far from their family and home. The report also found evidence of poor restrictive practices and use of sedation. It makes a number of recommendations, including the need to provide new funding for the right support in the community to enable children to stay with their families. (Edited publisher abstract)

This is the fifth national census of the ethnicity of inpatients in NHS and independent mental health and learning disability services in England and Wales. Carried out in March 2009 it follows a similar format to those conducted each year since 2005 but now also includes patients subject to Community Treatment Orders (CTO) introduced in 2008. Information was obtained for 31,786 patients who were either inpatients or on a CTO on census day. The number of patients in each census has declined from 33,785 in 2005 to 31,020 (without the outpatients on CTO) in 2009. The proportion of patients in independent hospitals has increased steadily over this period from 10% to 16%, with a corresponding decline in the proportion of NHS patients. Ethnicity information was available for 98% of the patients; 22% were from minority ethnic groups compared to 20% in the 2005 census. White British account for 78% of all patients, Black or Black/White mix groups 10%, other white groups 4%, South Asian 3%, White Irish 2%, and others (including Chinese) 3%. Differences in mental health problems were seen between and within ethnic groups. It is noted that there has been no reduction in the rates of admission, detention and seclusion among black and minority ethnic groups.
