Adult Services

A spreadsheet-based tool has been developed to help social workers cost residential care packages for working age adults with learning disabilities or mental health disorders.

Project centred on the transition area between children's services and adult services. The overall purpose of the project was to achieve better outcomes from FE for LD young people in the region.

Seminars for service providers and wider authority audiences have been held over the programme to keep the marketplace fully informed of developments in local authority social care transition planning practices and project findings.

Framework offers advice, examples of best practice and guidance, and is intended for commissioners within both local authorities and PCTs. The workbook defines the different levels of commissioning and explores self-directed support and strategic commissioning.
