Brings together a range of resources to help councils transform the local housing offer for people with a learning disability or autistic people. Housing arrangements for people with a learning disability and autistic people have come a long way since the 1960s, when people were housed in institutions that kept them apart from the rest of society. This is a result of national government and local authorities working together with people with a learning disability and their families to move towards a system founded on the principle of choice and control, personalised services and independent living.

A brief outline of the Community Discharge Grant 2021/22. The purpose of the Grant is to provide Transforming Care Partnerships (TCPs) and Integrated Care Systems (ICS) with additional funding to facilitate timely community discharge to reduce the net number of people with learning disabilities and/or autism who are inpatients in NHS hospital settings. This is the first three-year grant of this type: local Government in England will receive £62 million over three years under the Barnett formula (£20 million in 2020/21, £21 million in 2021/22, £21 million in 2022/23). Funding for 2020/21 and 2021/22 has now been distributed. The key difference this year (2021/22) is that the monitoring requirements for this year’s grant have been strengthened. To ensure oversight of local authority CDG expenditure the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is introducing a DHSC data recording tool for the 2021/22 financial year.

This report outlines the findings from the Learning Disability Services Efficiency Project and pulls together the evidence and some key messages for the sector. The project was set up by the Local Government Association in 2014 and is part of the Transforming Care programme. The Project aims to enable local authorities to develop and share new and innovative approaches to improve care and support for people with learning disabilities and to make efficiencies. The practice examples are based on the principles of promoting independence; working collaboratively to develop person centred solutions; maximising the use of resources, including digital technology and reducing costs. Five councils were tracked over a two year period and learning is being shared for the benefit of the wider sector. The Councils who took part were the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, Darlington Borough Council, Cumbria County Council, Kent County Council and Wiltshire Council. The findings are described using the following headings: understanding need and the cost of meeting that need, the progression model, carers, transitions, NHS as key partners, staff, housing, transport and efficiency savings.

These case studies illustrate how local government is working to ensure women's health is a priority in all they do. Although women live longer than men on average, they spend a significantly greater proportion of their lives in ill health and disability compared to men. To combat this, the government in England has published its first ever Women's Health Strategy. The strategy sets out a six-point plan to tackle the problems, calling for better representation to ensure women's voices are heard, improved access to services, better information and education, greater understanding of how women's health affects their experience in the workplace and improved data gathering and research. This collection of case studies shows the breadth of the work going on, from Lancashire's push to create a menopause-friendly environment for staff to Newcastle's social media campaign to get hard-to-reach women to come forward for cervical screening. Others, such as Surrey, are doing great working helping women caught up in the criminal justice system, while Liverpool has set up hubs to improve access to reproductive and sexual health services. If the ambitions of the strategy are to be achieved, local government will have a critical role.

This report provides practice examples from ten councils who took part in the Care and Health Improvement Programme during 2016/17. It describes the innovative approaches they took to achieve greater efficiencies from their adult social care budgets and draws conclusions as to what other councils might learn from them. The examples cover three main areas: managing demand for social care by offering residents a different type of service; more effectively using the capacity in communities to help find new care solutions; and working closer with partners in the NHS to reduce pressures in the care and health system. They highlight the importance of councils dealing with people effectively at their first point of contact; the benefits of using strength-based approaches; that developing social enterprises can be a cost effective way of meeting demand and reducing shortage of supply; and the potential of collaboration between councils to reduce costs and demand for services. The 10 councils are: Bristol City Council, Poole Borough Council, Swindon and Wiltshire Councils; Norfolk County Council; Waltham Forest Council; Somerset Council; Newcastle City Council; Nottingham City Council; and Nottinghamshire County Council.

Issued as part of the Transforming Care Programme, this guidance supports NHS and local authority commissioners to expand the housing options available for people with learning disabilities and/or autism who display behaviour that challenges. The guidance supplements ‘Building the right support' and the accompanying service model, to enable people with learning disabilities and/or autism to access the right home and support at the right time. The document covers the key housing principles in Transforming Care, to increase housing options and achieve reductions in inpatient capacity. It explains different models of settled accommodation through supported living and the provision short-term accommodation in the community. It then looks at developing the housing market for the Transforming Care, including negotiate with housing providers and agreeing key terms such as rent levels. It recommends Transforming Care Partnerships should consider producing a housing strategy, with a clear understanding of the types and volume of accommodation required Case studies are included to give examples of different housing approaches that could be applied to housing for people with a learning disability and/or autism with behaviour that challenges. Annexes also set out key housing principles designed by people with a learning disability and/or autism and their families and a list of useful resource.

The findings following the abuse at Winterbourne View made it clear that more local, appropriate accommodation and care is both possible and the best option for most people. The Joint Improvement Programme (WVJIP) was established to help local areas to fundamentally transform health and care services for people with learning disabilities, autism or challenging behaviour. This report presents findings from the stocktake of progress questionnaire sent to Local authority chief executives, clinical leads of local Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and the chairs of Health and Wellbeing Boards (HWBs) in June 2013. The stocktake covered 11 key areas of enquiry: models of partnership; managing money; case management for individuals; current review programme; safeguarding; commissioning arrangements; developing local teams and services; prevention and crisis response capacity; understanding the population who may need or receive services; children and adults transition planning and current and future market requirements and capacity. While the report finds that 86 specific requests for support are identified, it also outlines some of more than 340 example of good or demonstrative practice and local policy initiatives. This programme is led by the Local Government Association (LGA) and NHS England, and funded by the Department of Health.
