Homes Not Hospitals

What’s it about?

Holding people with learning disabilities and/or autistic people in hospitals is a significant issue in the UK. Thousands of individuals and their families are affected, with many experiencing prolonged stays. The hospital environment is often perceived as unsupportive, hindering recovery and creating barriers to discharge.
