Building on evidence‐based practice
The Case for a New 'Case' Management in Services for People with Learning Disabilities
Micro-organization is currently fragmented in services for people with learning disabilities. Care management, person-centred planning (PCP) and direct payments have developed through separate policy strands, with tasks and agency responsibilities blurred. A wide diversity of care management arrangements currently operate, with the relationship between care management, PCP and direct payments imprecisely defined. PCP and direct payments have also…

This paper discusses a case study of the development of a sexuality policy for a learning disability service, identifies key considerations for the development process and examines the wider implications for the service. The intervention was based on a consultancy model, with external consultants who were commissioned to manage the policy development task: the stages in this process are discussed. The operational, management and practice issues t…

Wide variations in service organisation were evident, providing particular challenges for those involved in …
The Tension between Mainstream Competence and Specialization in Adult Protection
With the implementation of No Secrets (Department of Health, 2000), the question of how far to specialize in adult protection has been raised for social services departments. Related issues include the extent of specialization within the vulnerable adult client groups as well as between adult protection specialists and other workers. This paper draws on an evaluation of the role of the adult protection co-ordinator across two local authority soci…
The State of Care Management in Learning Disability and Mental Health Services 12 Years into Community Care
This paper reports on the organization of care management from a longitudinal study of community care for people resettled from long-stay learning disability and psychiatric hospitals. The findings from a 12-year follow-up of care management arrangements in 12 learning disability and eight mental health study site services are described. The diversity of care management arrangements found at earlier points in the evaluation remained evident. Also…
The case for case management in adult protection
This paper argues for a case management rationale in adult protection management and practice, drawing insights from a series of linked training initiatives and an evaluation of the role of the specialist adult protection co‐ordinator. An explicit case managed approach contrasts with much current practice for adult protection, where responsibilities often vary widely within, between and across agencies and professional and worker roles
Approaches to Advocacy for Refugees and Asylum Seekers
This paper examines the potential for advocacy in social care services supporting refugees and asylum seekers, drawing on evidence and material from a service development intervention for staff working in a local refugee support and advice service in the UK. Different approaches to advocacy are discussed in relation to the needs and experiences of refugees and the aims of the service. The training model and service profile (the case study) is out…
Cosmetic surgery for people with learning disabilities
This paper explores the ethical issues surrounding the use of cosmetic surgery for and by people with learning disabilities. Although such interventions are less common in Britain than in the US, there is a growing interest in the use of cosmetic surgery to correct perceived defects in appearance and speech impairment. However, the assumed potential of cosmetic surgery brings adult protection concerns into stark relief
The Quality of Life of People 12 Years after Resettlement from Long Stay Hospitals
We report service users' views on three important domains of their quality of life in the community 12 years after resettlement for long-stay hospitals. These concerned their living environments, daily activities and future aspirations. We asked a series of open questions as part of a structured interview with service users with learning disabilities (n = 196) and mental health problems (n = 102). The study is the longest reported follow-up of de…

A personal touch
This paper identifies considerations for managing the risks of abuse during intimate and personal care for people with learning disabilities and complex needs. Drawing on insights gleaned from research involving interviews with staff, policies and procedures in specialist day and residential services, and the development of a staff training resource, the paper identifies a framework for adult protection practice in this critical area of support
Reconstructing the Sexuality of Men with Learning Disabilities
Research and practice in sexuality and learning disability has directly, and indirectly highlighted the pathological sexual behaviour of men with learning disabilities, particularly their abuse and Exploitation of women with learning disabilities, and relatively high HIV risk sexual behaviour with men without learning disabilities. It is consequently argued that there has been a relative neglect of their wider sexuality and sexual needs. This pap…
The First Hit
This paper describes the circumstances surrounding the physical abuse of persons with learning disabilities and challenging behaviours in a residential service and the general findings of a related inquiry. Evidence is interpreted in relation to wider policy and practice intelligence on the abuse of people with learning disabilities, with lessons for the recognition, reporting and management of abuse identified. The discussion is designed to help…
Building Care Management Competence in Services for People with Learning Disabilities
This paper examines care management arrangements in services for people with learning disabilities. Its perspective is informed by research on the long-term outcomes and costs of care in the community for people with learning disabilities (Cambridge et al., 1994) and by earlier experimental approaches to care management in Britain. Building on arguments developed by the author in a position paper in 1992 (Cambridge, 1992), the focus here shifts t…

How Far to Gay? The Politics of HIV in Learning Disability
This paper examines work in sexual health and HIV prevention in services for people with learning disabilities from a political stance associated with the rehomosexualisation of AIDS in Britain. Arguments are made for the re-homosexualisation of AIDS in services for people with learning disabilities, based on evidence of where HIV risk lies in relation to men with learning disabilities who have sex with men. This provides an opportunity to critic…
Making the market work for people with learning disabilities
