STOMP and STAMP survey on how people with a learning disability and autism are given medication for their mind.
Psychotropic medication is any medication that affects the mind for example, medication used to treat psychosis, depression, anxiety, sleep problems, ADHD and epilepsy.
STOMP stands for Stop Over Medicating autistic people and people with a learning disability and it is for children, young people and adults.
STAMP stands for Supporting Treating Appropriate Medication in Paediatrics and is for children and young people.
The survey is for children, young people and adults who are autistic or have a learning disability, their families and carers. The information from the survey will be used to inform plans to improve how psychotropic medication is used – so people get the right medication at the right time for the right reasons.
The more people who complete the survey, the better informed future work can be.
