      ab: Seclusion is commonly used in learning disability health services, despite a lack of demonstrated effectiveness. This article reviews the use of seclusion in learning disability services. As relevant literature was limited, literature from the mental health field is also considered. There are four main findings from this review. First, it appears that seclusion is commonly used for a number of reasons across learning disability services. It is perceived by health professionals to be effective, although there is limited research to support this. Furthermore, there is a lack of training of health professionals in the use of seclusion. In general, staff perceptions of seclusion appear to be negative, although they still tend to use seclusion for the management of challenging behaviour. This may reflect a lack of resources to effectively manage challenging behaviour in people with teaming disabilities. It may also reflect a lack of skills, knowledge or evidence for interventions by staff and management in people with challenging behaviour. Hazel Powell and colleagues discuss the clinical and research implications of these results.
