The system fails offenders with learning disabilities
The negative findings of this report stem largely from this lack of identification and the inspectors’ conclusion is pretty damning: “The needs of people with learning disabilities were often missed. There were pockets of good practice and examples of staff developing supportive relationships and “going the extra mile”, but these were far too often the exception rather than the norm, both in prisons and the community.”
