Shares the learning from the ‘So what, what next?’ project, which was designed by the Transforming Care empowerment steering group to look at ways of supporting people with a learning disability or autism who have recently been discharged from hospital. The focus was on supporting people to use their strengths, become active citizens, to grow their independence and to find ways to contribute to their local communities. Community Catalysts, a social enterprise, led the project and worked with the Black Country Transforming Care Partnership to support people with move out of hospital. The project aimed to help people in the Black Country to see themselves differently and to help professionals to see people differently and change how they work. As well as key learning points, the report includes 13 tips for professionals and supporters. It also includes the stories of 10 people with experience of life in hospital who were involved in the project. (Edited publisher abstract)

Updated policy and guidance setting out the expectations for implementation of Care (Education) and Treatment Reviews (CTRs) across England. Care and Treatment Reviews (CTRs) were developed to improve the care of people with learning disabilities, autism or both in England with the aim of reducing admissions and unnecessarily lengthy stays in hospitals and reducing health inequalities. This revised policy and guidance builds on learning following the introduction of the first Care and Treatment Reviews (CTR) policy in October 2015 and in working partnership with people with learning disabilities and their families. The document includes information on the review process, the Key Lines of Enquiry responsibilities, and pathways to CTRs. It also includes additional guidance in relation to the successful implementation of CTRs for children and young people. Although CTRS are being driven by the NHS, the involvement of local authorities and education services in the CTR process and its outcomes are necessary for improving care and treatment for people with learning disabilities and their families.
