Evidence suggests that people with learning disabilities and high support needs are likely to be left behind in social care provision while those who are more independent have more choice and control over social care services. This review sets out to identify good practice in advocacy for people with a learning disability and high support needs. The report includes the results of a research review and the findings from a practice survey of five services supporting people with learning disabilities and high support needs to find out about innovative practice advocacy in existing services. The research review found an increasing role to play for advocates in decision making about choice and management of individual budgets and direct payments. The final section summarises areas for future development including developing service cultures, building the evidence base, advocacy workforce strategies and commissioning principles which include the views of people who use services.
