Recommendation
The Trieste model of care—characterised by simplified and quicker admissions to and discharges from inpatient facilities; limited number of individuals in inpatient facilities for lengthy durations; and emphasis on well-resourced community support—presents a clear and better alternative to supporting autistic people and people with learning disabilities than is currently in place in England. Crucially, the Trieste model demonstrates that, when legislated for and well-resourced, autistic people and people with learning disabilities can be effectively supported in the community and without unnecessary and lengthy stays in inpatient facilities.
