Abstract
This report has been commissioned by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust to examine real and
perceived barriers to providing high quality care closer to home for children and young people (CYP) (>25
years) living with learning disabilities (LD) who have complex care needs and co existing conditions such
as neurodevelopmental disorders (such as autism or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)),
mental health problems and behaviour that challenges.
The context of this report will largely focus on workforce and workforce development in the context of
current service provision, whilst examining solutions that have already been put forward to address issues
of workforce development planning. Although the intention is to define the group requiring specialist
services, often working definitions can change between services and can be problematic for people trying
to access services.
