This statutory guidance applies to any service that currently, or intends to, provide regulated care to autistic people and people with a learning disability, including children and young adults, working age adults and older people. It describes the CQC regulatory approach for these services, covering registration, inspection, monitor and enforcement functions. Key requirements providers are expected to demonstrate include: there is a clear need for the service and it has been agreed by commissioners; the size, setting and design of the service meet people’s expectations and align with current best practice; people have access to the community; the model of care, policies and procedures are in line with current best practice. The document includes case studies illustrating how this guidance works in action in adult social care and hospitals. (Edited publisher abstract)

The 1993 Education Act requires the Secretary of State to issue a code of practice giving practical guidance to local education authorities and the governing bodies of all maintained schools on their responsibilities towards all children with special educational needs. The code seeks to help schools and local authorities obtain best value from the considerable financial resources and expertise they devote to the education of children with special educational needs to those with serious learning difficulties.
