THE DEVELOPMENT AND INITIAL EVALUATION OF A FORENSIC COMMUNITY TEAM FOR PEOPLE WITH AN INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY.

— STAFF

This is a descriptive first-year service evaluation of one team, with admissions 'avoided' estimated by internal clinical consensus rather than any comparator, so it supports no inference about effectiveness and changes no duty, standard or forensic assertion. It is worth retaining as a service-model reference for anyone commissioning or designing community forensic intellectual disability provision, but it should not occupy bulletin space.
