Our STOMP Commitment to Specialist Disability Support

Did you know that every day in England, an estimated 30,000 to 35,000 individuals with learning disabilities, autism, or both are prescribed psychotropic medication without proper clinical reasoning? This can affect their mood, perception, and overall well-being. Plus, long-term use can pose serious risks like weight gain, organ failure, and even premature death. It's important to rethink how we support these individuals and find safer, more effective alternatives.
At Kingsley, we're dedicated to improving lives by reducing over-medication. Our STOMP pledge means tailored adult care support, promoting alternatives like positive behaviour strategies, and making sure medication is used safely and effectively in our specialist care homes. With STOMP Champions in every service, we prioritise staff training, ensuring they have the latest knowledge and techniques for best practices and a tailored adult care approach.
