Evaluation of the National HOPES Programme to end long term segregation
A new evaluation by Manchester Metropolitan University looks at the National HOPES Programme, which aims to bring an end to long term segregation in inpatient settings for autistic people, people with a learning disability, and children and young people.
Long term segregation is a highly restrictive practice that can have a profound impact on wellbeing. The HOPES Programme offers a rights based and trauma informed approach focused on reducing restrictive environments, supporting recovery, and improving experiences for individuals, families, and staff.
This is the first national evaluation of the programme and provides valuable insight into its impact and future development.

Improving Support for People with Complex Mental Health Difficulties
A new report from the Centre for Mental Health explores how to improve care for people living with complex mental health difficulties.
The report shows that long hospital stays far from home can leave people feeling isolated and disconnected from their communities. It offers a more compassionate and effective alternative through local community-based support that includes intensive psychotherapy, therapeutic day programmes and high-support accommodation when needed.
This approach helps people stay close to family, friends and familiar surroundings while receiving specialist care. It reminds us that recovery is not only about treatment but also about connection, belonging and stability.
