“…Reference has been made already to the clear benefits of specialism but this has the less appreciated consequence that is a polarization of perspectives on other areas of health and social care.

The dual diagnosis of learning disability and mental illness represents a significant challenge to health and social care practitioners and their existing practices.

The key to resolving these problems lies in effective multi-agency collaboration. This paper examines the taxing problems of assessment, planning and intervention in this arena. It will offer examples of good practice from the Area Child Protection Committee model.

The increased expectation for women with learning disabilities to become more autonomous and independent is generally a positive and dynamic force.

These issues exist for all women within our society, but women with learning disabilities are more vulnerable because of their lack of voice both individually and politically. Within this new culture of independence and rights for women with learning disabilities, nurses must ensure that they address their own accountability and responsibility.
