We already knew that mental

wanted to make sure that
services were getting better.

5. 1. Accessible information – making information about
your stay in hospital easier for you to understand
7. 3. Service users involved in developing services –

9. 5. There is a named person who has a good understanding
of your needs and can help ward staff to help you.
That person is the “Learning Disability Champion”
10. 6. Safe and effective care – checking that things are
