Despite repeated policy initiatives, an enduring number of people with learning disabilities remain resident in secure settings (also referred to as locked wards). The spatial and emotional distance from family and friends means that relationships with staff become central to people's lives, and are critical for a successful transition to making their home in the community.

“当我需要他们的帮助时，他们两个就在身边” 良好关系对于支持有学习障碍的人“处于良好空间”的重要性

尽管一再采取政策举措，但仍有大量有学习障碍的人仍然居住在安全的环境中（也称为锁定病房）。与家人和朋友的空间和情感距离意味着与员工的关系成为人们生活的核心，对于成功过渡到在社区安家至关重要。
