Although most people with learning disabilities are in residential care, they remain at risk of the abuses seen at Winterbourne View. The housing costs in certain areas and non-person centred commissioning has led to many vulnerable people being placed in facilities far away from their communities. Aim To devise a structured, evidence-based tool to facilitate the safe transfer of vulnerable people with learning disabilities between agencies across the UK. Methods A literature review was conducted to determine the need for the tool. A focus group of experts identified relevant good practice to develop the checklist. The draft document was considered by the Royal College of Psychiatrists' intellectual disabilities faculty executive and the Learning Disability Professional Senate. Findings When piloted on new transfers, the checklist identified existing gaps in service provision. The placing authorities found the tool useful to reflect on the expectations of the receiving services, and it was deemed to be an example of good practice that needed to be shared across services. Conclusion The use of out of area placements continues without proper consideration of good practice. The interagency transfer document described in this article ensures basic standards of care can be met. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial research systematic review tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
