Purpose: Services for people with intellectual disabilities in the UK have evolved over the years from hospital-based care to more community provision. There are multiple reasons for these changes, however, often it was due to changes in social policy or following a scandal in provision. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach: Providing services to meet the health and social care needs of people with intellectual disabilities is well-established in the four countries of the UK with support from legislation. There are often specialist mental health and social care teams. Dedicated professionals work with people with intellectual disabilities who experience mental health problems with a focus on support in the community. A range of services for children and adults and for offenders exist across the UK that often vary in composition and structure. Findings: The challenges in providing mental health services for children and adults with intellectual disabilities in the future include recruitment and training of the workforce with the remit of enhancing community support and reduced in-patient care. Practical implications: This paper helps the reader to understand how ID mental health services are organised in the UK. Originality/value: This paper gives a summary of the ID mental health services in the UK. Even though there are various papers looking at different aspects of mental health services for people with ID in the UK, this paper brings all that information together to help reader get a better understanding of the mental health services for people with ID.

Examines the prevalence of people with mental health illnesses in the criminal justice system, focusing on what happens when people who experience mental illness come into contact with the police. The report looks at issues around detention under the Mental Health Act, including detention of children, police and health service collaboration, and training. It raises concerns about the extent to which frontline officers are increasingly spending their time helping people with mental health problems and about the use of police cells as a place of safety. The report main findings and recommendations include: police cells should no longer be stated as a place of safety for those detained under section 136; too many NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) are failing in their duty to provide enough health-based places of safety that are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and are adequately staffed; the police need to make sure they use their powers in relation to mental health correctly, to reduce the numbers detained and so reduce pressure on both the police and the NHS; the NHS needs to make places available to look after children experiencing a mental health crisis locally; people encountering a mental health crisis should be transported to hospital in an ambulance if an emergency services vehicle is needed; the Government should give a clear commitment that funding will be made available for schemes which have been proven to be cost-effective.
