“…It is now well understood that these people can and do experience mental health problems, and may in fact be more vulnerable than the general population (Hamlin and Oakes, 2008). While the transition had a number of specific benefits, such as reduction in self-injurious behaviour and aggression (Collins and Halman, 1996) and an increase in social interaction (Dagnan et al, 1998), an expectation that it would reduce mental health and behavioural problems more generally soon proved unfounded (Chaplin et al, 2010). Indeed, the transition often caused additional problems, such as relocation syndrome (Bouras et al, 1993), in which people became depressed and more isolated, and problem behaviours increased (Chaplin et al, 2010).…”

Purpose -It is widely acknowledged that people with intellectual disabilities are highly likely to experience mental health problems, but that support workers' knowledge and skill in this area is sometimes lacking. There is little research explicitly exploring knowledge about the mental health of older people with intellectual disabilities and the purpose of this paper is to attempt to fill this gap.Design/methodology/approach -In total, 14 support workers completed a questionnaire in which three vignettes presented progressively worsening indicators of dementia in an older person with intellectual disabilities. Participants explained what they thought was happening and what action they would take. Data were analysed using Braun and Clarke's framework.Findings -Few participants had undertaken any mental health training, and only one in relation to older people. They were generally poor at judging early and intermediate indicators of dementia, but were able to identify more overt later signs. However, they believed these advanced indicators to be the onset of dementia. Nonetheless, they would generally take appropriate action, such as observation and referral. Abuse was often considered as a causal factor.Practical implications -The most significant implication is the need for training in the mental health needs of older people and in particular, the general and specific indicators and expected trajectory of dementia in this population.Originality/value -The study adds to the limited research on staff knowledge about older people with intellectual disabilities and dementia, using a novel methodology.

“…Lowe & Felce (1995) discussed the importance of assessing challenging behaviours in terms of their real impact and consequences, and working towards a consensus view of which types of behaviour are typically cited as being severely challenging. Collins & Halman (1996) summarized the difficulties in measuring challenging behaviour, and suggested that scales which consider the frequency and impact of behaviour are more useful than inventories since both of these will give some indication of likely consequences.…”

Challenging behaviour in community services

The implementation of community care in the UK has led to the requirement that services should be able to meet the needs of adults with intellectual disability (ID) and additional needs in terms of challenging behaviour. However, the extent to which people with challenging behaviour are present in the community and the extent to which community services can support them effectively still requires significant research. The present study examines the prevalence of challenging behaviour amongst adults with ID residing in three London boroughs and the issues which arise from service delivery to this client group. All service providers and general practitioners in the area were contacted and asked to identify any individuals with ID and challenging behaviour. All responses were screened, and then key staff were interviewed for information on a range of demographic factors and on the Checklist of Challenging Behaviour. The reliability of the instrument was also assessed. Four hundred and forty-eight individuals were identified from a total borough population of 670 000. There was consistency in the types of behaviour which were frequently identified across the three boroughs. There were significant levels of self-injury as well as a range of behaviours of the 'hard to engage' type. Most individuals had more then one challenging behaviour and some individuals with seriously aggressive behaviour used local community services. Twenty-five per cent of the sample lived at home with their families and 50% were in community residential services. The boroughs differed in their ability to manage those with challenging behaviour in that one borough had many more people placed out-of-borough. Significant numbers of individuals with challenging behaviour were living in the community. The range and number of behaviours suggest that staff need to be very skilled in supporting such individuals, and that effective planning and support are essential if people with challenging behaviour are to be maintained in community settings.
