This guide aims to help health and social care providers ensure that Care (Education) and Treatment Reviews improve the lives of people with a learning disability or autism that they support. A C(E)TR aims to identify how each person can have the best quality of life possible, and how care and treatment can fully support this aim. A review should be organised when a hospital admission is being considered. A Community C(E)TR asks what extra support can be put in place for the person and family to avoid unnecessary admission to hospital. This guide looks at what health and social care providers need to do to make sure Care (Education) and Treatment Reviews work effectively, including providing the right documents, supporting the person and the family, ensuring the quality of reviews and hospital discharge good practice standards.

The report outlines key aims of reducing the number of people placed in hospital, reducing the length of time those admitted spend there, and improving the quality of both hospital and community settings. Plans include: empowering people and families to challenge their admission or continued placement in inpatient care; working with local authorities and other providers to get the right care in the right place; raising the quality of care through regulation and inspection; and increasing workforce capability by improving their skills and practice.

The document provides guidance for Transforming Care Partnerships and their local partners in Clinical Commissioning Groups and Local Authorities in commissioning support and services for children and young people with learning disability, autism or both who display behaviour that challenges. It supplements Building the Right Support and the National Service Model, to ensure that plans are inclusive of children and young people. It is structured around nine core principles that describe what good services and support look like for children and young people. These include having a meaningful everyday life; person-centred and coordinated care and support; support for family and care staff to help the child or young person live in the community; choice about where to live; and access to specialist health and social care in the community. Each section lists relevant legislation and guidance. Appendices provide information on what works when working in partnership with families and describes how services should change as a result of the service transformation. (Edited publisher abstract)
