People with learning disabilities and/or autism encounter considerable challenges on the pathways through the criminal justice and/or forensic health systems. This article presents a thematic analysis of focused discussions between users, professionals and practitioners from health, social care and criminal justice. It is informed by the social model of disability, which dictates its focus on solutions for maximising the full and effective participation of disabled users. Informants raised key challenges, including indirect disability discrimination and risk aversive practice, and evidenced innovative solutions. These include person‐centred, multi‐agency working, screening, information sharing, inclusive service design, nurturing sustainable key relationships and long‐term community support.

There are people with learning disabilities and/or autism in every community, some of whom will engage in sexually offending and risky behaviour. Already a highly marginalised group, many will themselves be at risk of exploitation and abuse. Several local, regional and national authorities and multi-agency partnerships have overlapping responsibilities for their health and wellbeing – whether as a statutory duty or because supporting people who are vulnerable is integral to their role. The array of support agencies can be confusing and hard to access – both for individuals with learning disabilities and/or autism and family members seeking help on their behalf. Early intervention and support can improve outcomes for the individuals themselves, make communities safer and reduce the number of victims, and lessen the high cost of crisis intervention. This briefing paper sets out the case for change: it draws on presentations and discussions from a seminar we held in May 2017. It includes practice examples and suggests practical ways forward and makes recommendations to improve outcomes for some of the most vulnerable citizens in our society.

... The author zigzagged (Emmel, 2015) back and forth between the data and the outcome of presumed "success", seeking to explain the causes for these high levels of satisfaction. In doing this, they consulted with Pedro's forensic psychologist, listened to a wider network of stakeholders (as summarised by Hollomotz & Talbot, 2018, 2021 and conducted some increasingly purposeful literature searching, as recommended by Cooper et al. (2020). As a result the discussion draws out underpinning "deeper" processes, which generate the observed relationship between the support package and its outcome of presumed "success" (Dalkin et al., 2015). ...
