People with a learning disability and behaviour that challenges should have the support they need to live how and where they want. Organising and developing services in the right way is the first step to making this happen. This quick guide focuses on achieving good outcomes for people through effective commissioning of services. It looks at planning and delivering services, providing services in the community, and considering housing options. The content is based on NICE’s guideline on learning disabilities and behaviour that challenges: service design and delivery. (Edited publisher abstract)

The purpose of this report is to share ideas about self-advocacy for people with learning disabilities and those who are committed to supporting self-advocacy such as service providers, commissioners, parents and carers. A number of people with a learning disability and supporters were involved in developing this information and suggesting how to present it. The idea is for supporters and carers to work through this together and discuss the different ideas raised about supporting self advocacy.
