Critical decisions and questions regarding serious case reviews – ideas from North West England
Purpose Serious case reviews (SCRs) are one means of learning the lessons arising from adverse, salient incidents and tragedies. Adult Safeguarding Boards in England are expected to have an SCR policy and procedure, to commission SCRs, to abstract and act on the learning, and to monitor the resulting action plans. Design/methodology/approach Since SCRs reflect a wide range of processes, the authors undertook a general review, drawing on their exp…

Unlearned lessons from the Healthcare Commission's investigation into the service for people with learning disabilities provided by Sutton and Merton Primary Care Trust

Further, it offers readers no real sense of the extent or scale of the abuse experienced by people residing in the Cornwall Partnership NHS Trust accommodation and in housing supported by…
Challenging poor practice, abusive practice and inadequate complaints procedures
The impetus for this paper was the Channel 5 documentary Who Cares for Gary? and the combined efforts of the author, her family and friends to challenge practice within one of the units featured. The paper describes a fundamentally disruptive sequence of decisions and events in the life of the author's brother and affirms that the consequences of abuse and mechanisms to challenge it go beyond individual suffering
Warning
The White Paper Valuing People: A New Strategy for Learning Disability for the 21st Century, is shaped by the principles of Legal and Civil Rights, Independence, Choice and Inclusion. These principles are laudable, but this paper argues that in matters of health that are not within the experiences of adults with learning disabilities, a duty of care should override the elusive mantra of ‘choice’
Care in the Community
Homes for Mentally Handicapped People
Based on two recent research studies, this books provides much-needed information about the experience of mentally handicapped adults in different settings, from large institutions to 'care in the community
