Learning Disability and Autism Transformation
Our vision is that people with learning disabilities and/or autistic people are enabled to have choice and control to be independent, healthy, and safe, with the same opportunities and outcomes in life as others.

What are we doing to transform these services?
- Focusing on reducing our reliance on specialist inpatient beds
- Working to tackle the challenges of long autism assessment waiting lists
- Building community infrastructure
- Increasing neurodiversity awareness in schools
- Focusing on health inequalities and ensuring our workforce are supported and well-trained
- Working with Parent Carer Forums and Experts by Experience
How are we doing this?
- By working with system partners to offer a community approach that prevents escalation and supports people in their own homes
- Ensuring coproduction becomes part of our business as usual
