A report of the pilot multi-agency inspection of services for people with learning disabilities in Ayrshire that took place between February and June 2006 is presented. A multi-agency inspection model for services for people with learning disabilities was developed. A consultation event about the model was held and people’s comments were taken into account. A number of people with learning disabilities and family carers attended the event. The model was specifically designed for multi-agency inspections of learning disability services and is congruent with the SWIA performance inspection model and HMIe’s performance inspection model. The report covers enabling and sustaining independence, promoting inclusion, meeting health needs, safety and protection, record keeping and communication, meeting staff needs, developing partnership working, leadership and direction, financial resource and information management, and capacity for improvement. Recommendations are presented.

The report includes an easy read summary of the findings, describes the inspection methodology and activities, and reports on the findings for each of the 4 partnerships studied and on shared issues for all areas.

It makes recommendations for improvements for individual councils, individual partnerships or more than one council or partnership. The report notes that each partnership will be asked to prepare an action plan setting out how they will implement the recommendations of the report.
