Transforming Care programme

Aims to improve the lives of children, young people and adults with a learning disability and/or autism.

Specialist support

We have specialist Social Work and Contracts and Service Development teams who manage Transforming Care and out of county contracts, develop services for Transforming Care and also facilitate the development of the revised Learning Disability Strategy and the All-Age Autism Strategy.

The Transforming Care programme aims to improve the lives of children, young people and adults with a learning disability and/or autism who display behaviours that challenge, including those with a mental health condition. The programme has three key aims to:

  • improve quality of care for people with a learning disability and/or autism
  • improve quality of life for people with a learning disability and/or autism
  • enhance community capacity, thereby reducing inappropriate hospital admissions and length of stay

It follows from the Building the Right Support National Implementation Plan (PDF), which is the national plan to develop community services and close inpatient facilities for people with a learning disability and/or autism who display behaviours that challenge, including those with a mental health condition. This underpins our work. Further information about transforming care from the NHS (NHS.UK).
