All 152 Learning Disability Partnership Boards produced an annual report setting out the progress they made from April 2009 to March 2010. The information from these was used by nine Regional Boards to create summary reports for each region. This report brings together the key findings from the regional reports and additional national data to illustrate progress achieved in delivering Valuing People Now (the three-year strategy for people with learning disabilities published by the Department of Health in 2009). It provides summary information about the local Partnership Boards reports, key findings on the priority areas of health, housing, and employment, and progress in other areas including personalisation, transition, including everyone, hate crime, and advocacy. It also identifies further progress needed and provides examples of good practice at a regional and local level.

Valuing People Now sets out the Government’s strategy to improve the experience of young people with learning disabilities as they move into adulthood. The Getting a Life programme was one of 3 Valuing Employment Now demonstration programmes which focused on how to increase the number of young people going into full-time paid employment. The programme designed an employment pathway that sets out the most critical things that need to happen during transition. The success of this pathway has led to the development of similar pathways for housing, health, friends, and community. These pathways have been designed to show what needs to happen at each stage of a young person’s progress through transition and into adulthood, using the principles and methods of person-centred transition planning and support planning so that they can have jobs, friends, their own homes and choice and control over their lives. The aim of this document is to bring together what has been learned about transition planning for young people with learning disabilities from Valuing People Now and Getting a Life. Each section describes one of the pathways to Getting a Life: pathway into employment; housing pathway; planning for good health pathway; and developing friendships, relationships and community pathway.
