The module investigates how services support people who have a learning disability and/or mental health condition and who have either been convicted of an offence indicating a risk to the public or have exhibited behaviour indicating pro-active management is required. It aims to improve students¿ ability to assess social and healthcare needs and management of forensic services in order to enhance quality of life and preserve individual rights as the person with learning disabilities. Case studies of individuals and of services are used to illustrate the complexity of this area of work, and to demonstrate best practice.
