Care Programme Approach: All service user in secondary care will be allocated a lead practitioner and there are 2 levels of care - standard and CPA.  Everyone receiving care will have a personal support plan  - this will be a brief record of agreed care for those on standard care, and a more comprehensive plan for those on CPA.  This plan should be co-produced with the service user and based on recovery principles.

Guidance on Communication with service users with text messages (SMS).

The purpose of this policy is to set out the principles that will ensure people with learning disabilities and co-existing mental health needs receive the appropriate support and interventions when presenting to services provided by Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (The Trust).

The policy will also implement best practice in mental health services for people with a learning disability; the 'Green Light for Mental Health' Framework and Self-Assessment Toolkit.
