This short report comments on the progress following publication of ‘Out of sight – who cares?’ report and highlights the main areas where further work is still needed. ‘Out of sight – who cares?’, published in October 2020, looked at the use of restraint, seclusion and segregation in care services for people with a mental health condition, a learning disability or autistic people. The health and care system has taken action to understand the needs of people with a learning disability and autistic people in inpatient units. However, there is still much to be done. Too many people have still not seen their care improved. While the health and care system has made a commitment to increase the range of community support available to help prevent hospital admissions, this commitment now needs to be converted into real change. The findings of this report show that too many people are still in inpatient wards and they are spending too long in hospital. Getting the right care provision, support services and early intervention in the community will prevent hospital admissions, reduce the time it takes to discharge people into the right support and enable people to live their best lives.

This report describes 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. While the focus of this report is learning disabilities and autism, the findings have also implications and learning for settings that support people who have a mental health condition and/or who are living with dementia. The review found that often people were not getting the care they need, when they need it. There were many examples of care that was undignified, inhumane and that potentially breached people’s basic human rights. While it is possible to support people well in the community, care packages are often not available; and people are frequently not receiving the hospital care that they are entitled to. While the use of restrictive practice is not inevitable, nearly all of the services (hospitals and adult social care services) visited as part of this review used some form of restrictive practice. Where there was evidence of people being restrained, secluded or segregated, it was claimed that this was for their own safety or the safety of others. The report makes 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.
