The guidelines go on to talk about the attention that needs to be paid to specific environmental factors which can increase the risk of challenging behaviour. It is important that all these points are considered when deciding on whether appropriate medical treatment would have a therapeutic beneficial impact. We need to recognise, as I am sure that we do, that everyone is different. The right environment can be based on a person’s own sensory profile, and that sensory profile can change throughout someone’s detention in a mental health hospital.
