Good practice guidance developed to help Regional Partnership Boards in Wales to develop their own approaches to the integrated commissioning of services for people with a learning disability. The guidance will help commissioners to follow the principles in the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, in terms of helping individuals to lead an ordinary life with dignity, and co-producing appropriate solutions to help individuals to achieve the outcomes important to them. The guidance looks at the role of the strategic commissioner, how they can lead cultural change and how to commission ‘good lives’ through co-production approaches. It also explains how taking a whole systems, lifespan approach to positive behaviour support can reduce placement breakdown and prevent hospital admission. The guidance has been developed by the National Commissioning Board in partnership with the Institute for Public Care. (Edited publisher abstract)
