This web-based practice guide is aimed at local authority and health commissioners, practitioners, service users, adult placement scheme staff and carers in England. The guide is based on information from a practice survey that identified emerging and developing practice; a literature review that pulled together the key literature on adult placements; and an analytical report that identified the key messages from these two surveys. It identifies relevant national minimum standards, and highlights findings and case examples from the practice survey, as well as from the literature where available. The Guide contains practice points, including areas of conflict, on-going debate about roles and responsibilities, and the application of person-centred approaches to adult placements. It contains sections on: being person-centred, assessment and referral, matching and introductions, monitoring and review, moving on, adult placement carers, advocacy; and person-centred planning. (Previously published as SCIE Practice Guide no. 4).
