The Learning Disabilities Mortality Review (LeDeR) Programme

• LeDeR is a national review of deaths of people with learning disabilities. Please use this website to report a death of patient with learning disability over four years old.

The Haringey Integrated Learning Disabilities Service covers the following functions

• Assessment and care management
• Residential care, covering both respite care and adult placements (known as 'Shared Lives')
• Social care community support
• Assessment and treatment for people with learning disabilities and mental health needs (CPA - Care Programme Approach
• NHS Community health care (including nursing, speech and language therapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, music therapy, psychology and psychiatry)

Most people with learning disabilities, will have general health needs which can be supported by their GP. The GP surgery should offer adults and young people aged 14 or over with a learning disability, an annual health check at the GP practice. An annual health check helps you stay well by talking about your health and finding any problems early, so you get the right care. Some people have not been offered annual health checks, but it is your right to ask for one.

If the Learning Disability Partnership is not the right service for the person you are referring they will support them with information, signposting and advice. Information on education and employment, sexual and physical matters, welfare rights, and housing is readily available and appropriate referrals, will be made. Call the Integrated Access Team on 020 8489 1400 or email IAT@haringey.gov.uk. More information about the Integrated Access Team can be found on their website.
