This report looks at the steps that need to be taken to develop the learning disability nursing workforce and improve community learning disability services in order to deliver the government policy 'Transforming care', and move the care of people with learning disabilities from hospitals into the community. The report highlights the disconnect between workforce planning and service design, and the reduction and devaluing of the learning disability workforce. It presents data to show that there is still a 'revolving door' with people with learning disabilities continuing to be admitted into inpatient services, often due to the inability to access the right care and support to help people to live independently. It also looks at the current state of the workforce in terms of staffing levels, numbers, skill mix and projections for the future workforce. A number of recommendations are presented in relation to workforce and service development to address the issues raised in the report. These include a long-term workforce strategy that connects workforce planning to the transformation and delivery of services for children and adults with learning disabilities; ensuring that quality community services are commissioned to support the appropriate transition of people from inpatient care to living more independently in the community; establishing long-term commissioning arrangements of community services to protect children and adults who rely on vital services in the community; and for positive behaviour support to be embedded across organisations and training.
