Out of sight: stopping the neglect and abuse of people with a learning disability

Resource Information

Description: This report was published by Mencap and the Challenging Behaviour Foundation on the day after the final person to be charged with an offence in the Winterbourne View scandal entered a guilty plea at Bristol Crown Court. The charities reveal that they have received further reports from families concerning the abuse and neglect of people with a learning disability in institutional care and give details of a number of serious incidents of abuse. As a result, the charities are calling on the Government to address failings in the care system, to close large institutions and to develop appropriate local services and facilities.
