This guidance, commissioned by the National Commissioning Board, provides advice on commissioning accommodation and support services for people with a learning disability that support independent living promote well-being. It aims to redefine the accommodation and support model to a more person-centred, flexible set of principles which considers a wide range of places to live and deliver the support person want and need. It builds upon the overarching guidance on ‘Commissioning Services for People with Learning Disabilities’ published in November 2017 and will contribute to Welsh Government’s ‘Learning Disability Improving Lives Programme’. The guidance is structured around 12 questions across five themes which cover: person centred pathway; models of accommodation and support; what makes good quality support; developing innovative and progressive procurement processes; effective strategic commissioning, including commissioning services that improve well-being and that are cost effective.

Good practice guidance developed to help Regional Partnership Boards in Wales to develop their own approaches to the integrated commissioning of services for people with a learning disability. The guidance will help commissioners to follow the principles in the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, in terms of helping individuals to lead an ordinary life with dignity, and co-producing appropriate solutions to help individuals to achieve the outcomes important to them. The guidance looks at the role of the strategic commissioner, how they can lead cultural change and how to commission ‘good lives’ through co-production approaches. It also explains how taking a whole systems, lifespan approach to positive behaviour support can reduce placement breakdown and prevent hospital admission. The guidance has been developed by the National Commissioning Board in partnership with the Institute for Public Care. (Edited publisher abstract)

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)
