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.
