This report is based on the views of a very diverse range of social care service users – 112 in all – gathered from many different parts of the country. More than a quarter of the participants in this project were black or from minority ethnic communities. The study was almost entirely undertaken by service users and their organisations, drawing on their networks and experience at local and national levels in undertaking user-led research, evaluation and consultation. There was a remarkable degree of consistency and agreement in what different service users and service users from different parts of the country said. The report is organised in three parts: the first sets out how the consultation was undertaken; the second contains the views of service users generally; and the third reports the views of three specific groups of of people with learning difficulties to ensure that their comments have equal visibility.

This web-based practice guide is aimed at local authority and health commissioners, practitioners, service users, adult placement scheme staff and carers in England. The guide is based on information from a practice survey that identified emerging and developing practice; a literature review that pulled together the key literature on adult placements; and an analytical report that identified the key messages from these two surveys. It identifies relevant national minimum standards, and highlights findings and case examples from the practice survey, as well as from the literature where available. The Guide contains practice points, including areas of conflict, on-going debate about roles and responsibilities, and the application of person-centred approaches to adult placements. It contains sections on: being person-centred, assessment and referral, matching and introductions, monitoring and review, moving on, adult placement carers, advocacy; and person-centred planning. (Previously published as SCIE Practice Guide no. 4).
