We aimed to understand C(E)TRimpact and effectiveness from professionals working with PwID.Methods: An online mixed-methodology survey whichincluded 34 questions (either Likert or free text) was sharedwith networks including relevant professionals. Quantitativedata are presented descriptively. Thematic analysis was conducted on free-text responses.Results: Of 66 people representing multiple intellectual disability teams across the UK, 67% found the C(E)TR process useful,35% felt C(E)TRs made a difference to their clinical care, while36% felt it did not. Thematic analysis showed four overarchingthemesj: processes and structures, recommendations, accountability, and statutory vs. advisory. Word missing after advisory?Conclusion: Clinicians find C(E)TRs useful for their practice butremain concerned about significant clinical risks and serviceissues beyond their control which C(E)TRs fail to identify.
