PLANNING AND COMMISSIONING HOUSING FOR PEOPLE WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES: A TOOLKIT FOR LOCAL AUTHORITIES
The toolkit is set out in two main parts:
- Planning – the steps likely to be required to plan for a wider choice of housing options.
- Delivery – the steps and actions likely to be required to commission a choice of housing options in reality.
The toolkit is designed so that each 'component' section can be used independently, or it can be used in its entirety as a sequential series of steps and actions. Each section contains:
- A 'checklist' type series of questions that a local authority can use to plan activity and action and to self-assess its current position and performance.
- Possible approaches and suggestions for making progress including a sample of examples of good practice from a range of local authorities across England.
The toolkit concentrates on the planning and delivery of housing for people with learning disabilities. Many people will need a variety of types and levels of support in order to be able to achieve their preferred housing choice or the housing option that best suits their needs.
