This guide, commissioned by the Office of the Chief Social Worker for Adults, looks at what social workers need to do to help young people with learning disabilities prepare for adulthood. It provides a practice framework for social workers and their employers to use when supporting people to prepare for adulthood. The framework consists of five elements: Having the right conditions in place; Underpinning knowledge; The right values, skills and attributes; Supporting the person through the system; and Focus on the young person. For each element in the framework, the guide explores the context in which social workers are operating, what can be done to overcome the challenges, and identifies pointers towards a better way of doing things. Where appropriate, each section includes people's stories, and resources and tools for social workers to consider in their practice. The guide also includes a review of policy and practice guidance relating to preparing for adulthood and a checklist of what a social worker will need to do and have in place to support young people effectively. The guide builds on work carried out by Innovation Unit and the Social Care Institute for Excellence, looking at whether a Named Social Worker approach might improve support to people with learning disabilities.

This guide explores lessons for practice from the Named Social Worker (NSW) programme, which piloted new social work approaches to improve outcomes and experiences for people with learning disabilities and/or autism and for the people around them. Through the initiative, people were assigned a named social worker who could build a trusting relationship with them, advocate on their behalf and coordinate their care and support in a more holistic and person-centred way. The guide makes the case for ‘better social work practice’, drawing on the learning and emerging evidence from NSW programme sites; identifies common principles and enablers of ‘good social work’ and what this means for people with learning disabilities; It also provides advice on developing an evaluation approach that captures the qualitative and quantitative impact of different ways of working. The appendix includes tools and case studies from the pilot sites. (Edited publisher abstract)
