These service standards address the responsibilities and requirements of all the organisations and individuals who contribute to the provision of quality social care in the three high security hospitals for people with mental health problems: Ashworth, Broadmoor and Rampton. The document should be read alongside the 'Review of social work in the high security hospitals' (the Lewis report). The standards are divided into six free standing sections, each addressing the responsibilities and requirements of one organisation (the Hospital Social Care Service, the Hospital itself, the local council providing and managing the social care service, the local councils with responsibilities for patients, the local councils in whose areas the hospitals are situated and the Probation Service).

This Code and Toolkit provides framework to ensure that Care, Education and Treatment Reviews (CETRs) for children and young people who either have been, or may be about to be admitted to a specialist mental health or learning disability hospital are delivered to a consistently high standard across England. It also provides commissioners with tools to help them carry out CETRs. It outlines the main principles for delivering CETRs, which include the principles of human rights, child -centeredness and co-production; the standards for each principle; and the criteria used to evaluate the standards in practice. It also outlines the roles of CETR experts by experience and clinical experts; provides a checklist for commissioners and providers to use; and a set of hospital discharge steps and standards to help commissioners navigate through the discharge process.

This NSF includes standards covering both health and social care services, and a key theme of this Emerging Findings document is the importance of integrated working between health and social care to support children who are disabled, who have mental health problems, or who are otherwise in special circumstances. For many children this joined-up working is essential to improving the quality of their lives and future life chances. The objective of this NSF is to improve the standard of services and reduce inequalities in care and support services. It provides a landmark in the development of services for children and young people and a real opportunity to give them, and pregnant women, the best start in life to prepare them for getting the most out of going to school, to deal with the problems which all children face during their childhood and, later, to take their place as active citizens in society.

The purpose of this inspection was to inspect and report on the service received by, and outcomes for, users who are compulsorily detained under the Mental Health Act. It took place at a time when the Mental Health Act was under review, and the Government had published its new strategy for mental health. The strategy was followed by a National Service Framework for Mental Health, which sets standards for all agencies to achieve greater consistency across the country. During the inspection information was gathered from assessments of almost one thousand people under the Mental Health Act. It took place at a time when mental health services were being re-assessed in the light of the new national standards for mental health and this report is timely in helping local councils to evaluate services.

This Service framework for learning disabilities is one of a set of Service Frameworks which sets out standards for health and social care to be used by service users and carers, to help them understand the standard of care they can expect to receive in Northern Ireland. The Service Framework for Learning Disability aims to improve the health and wellbeing of people with a learning disability and their carers and families by promoting social inclusion, reducing inequalities in health and social wellbeing and improving the quality of health and social care services. The Framework sets standards in relation to: Safeguarding and Communication and Involvement in the Planning and Delivery of Services; Children and Young People; Entering Adulthood; Inclusion in Community Life; Meeting General Physical and Mental Health Needs; Meeting Complex Physical and Mental Health Needs; At Home in The Community; Ageing Well; and Palliative and End of Life Care. Each standard is accompanied by a statement on what the standard is intended to achieve. It also sets out the evidence base and rationale for the development of the standard and the performance indicators that will be used to measure that the standard during the three year period 2013 - 2016. The Framework has been developed with the involvement of people from all aspects of health and social care, including patients, users of services and their carers.

The National Service Framework (NSF) for mental health is intended to drive up quality and remove the wide and unacceptable variations in provisions. This NSF sets national standards and defines service models for promoting mental health and treating mental illness. It also puts in place underpinning programmes to support local delivery and establishes milestones and a specific group of high-level performance indicators against which progress within agreed time-scales will be measured. The NSF for mental health concentrates on the mental health needs of working age adults up to 65, and covers health promotion, assessment and diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and care, and encompasses primary and specialist care and the roles of the partner agencies. The NSF also touches on the need of children and young people, highlighting areas where services for children and adults interact, for example the interface between services for 16 – 18 year olds, and the needs of children with a mentally ill parent.
