Community-based support offers many benefits when compared with other residential options. However, a recent research study has shown that it falls far short when judged against the aspirations of the move to community, or the quality of life of many people who do not have a learning disability. Reports on the findings and argues that the issue should be central to policy and practice agendas in the next century.

Government reports since 1990 on services for people with mental health needs, learning disabilities, challenging behaviour and/or criminal offending have recommended community living wherever possible. Nevertheless, most health and social service providers still find it difficult to attain the types of service proposed. It has recently been concluded that this was partly a result of the separation of services for people with learning disabilities form mainstream mental health services. This article reports the experience of a local service development intervention designed around the needs of this client group.
