Provides a distillation of consultancy and service evaluation of Community Learning Disabilities, from across the country over the last five years. Finds that many community teams are in a state of organisational confusion and others have ceased to exist. Aims to help develop our understanding of what has been happening to these teams and identify the issues that need to be considered if these resources are to be used effectively in the future.

This evaluation report describes what has been happening in the Pathfinder sites and also explain why and for whom those things might have been happening. It then draws conclusions as to what that might mean for transferability of the learning to other situations and settings. The research consisted of a review of relevant national documentation, and discussions with other key national stakeholders and series of interviews, meetings and interactions with stakeholders from the 21 Pathfinder sites. Descriptions of the process and methodology used for the work, a summary of the initial ‘emerging theories of change’ that have arisen from the analysis of the data obtained, and a short comment on other issues and themes arising from the initial fieldwork and analysis. This report includes sections on: the effectiveness of parent participation in developing innovative short breaks; how involving children and young people is leading to more accessible and child focused short breaks; emerging inclusion and increase of ordinary community facilities; effectiveness of partnership working, where it exists; and a ‘softening’ of the process of accessing short breaks leading to a more open service available to more families.
