In this film we see several examples of excellence in supported living settings. The film shows people with learning disabilities and mental health problems finding employment, developing skills, and becoming more independent, and looks at the role of social care staff in supporting people to improve their lives. The examples are analysed by a panel of service users and social care academics and they discuss how the services demonstrate concepts of excellence in social care in their day-to-day work. This film was previously available under the title 'Defining excellence: residential settings: supported living' which was revised in 2014.
