Illustration for Intellectual Disability (Compulsory Care and Rehabilitation) Act 2003

If you are a special care recipient or a care recipient who needs secure care, this section applies to you. You must stay in a secure facility that a co-ordinator chooses for you by giving you and your care manager a written notice.

You can only leave this facility if you have permission under the Intellectual Disability (Compulsory Care and Rehabilitation) Act 2003. The co-ordinator will decide which secure facility is best for you and will let you and your care manager know in writing.

The facility you stay in will be one that the co-ordinator designates, and you will need to follow the rules of that facility.
