Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the following information regarding supported living services for adults (aged 18-64) with a primary support need of learning disabilities (LD). Please also include data for adults (aged 18-64) with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) where information is captured for this cohort or where this is recorded as a primary support need.
Supported living may also be called Supported accommodation or Supported housing and is a housing scheme where housing, support and care services are provided to help people with disabilities live as independently as possible in the community. Providers of supported living will be registered with the CQC to deliver personal care to service users.
Long term care is provided to clients on an ongoing basis and varies from high intensity provision such as nursing care, to lower intensity support in the community such as the provision of direct payments to arrange regular home care visits.
When referring to placements ‘funded by the Council’, I am referring to any financial support provided by the Council towards the cost of care and/or supported living placements for adults with LD or ASD. This includes direct payments, council-commissioned support, and any partial funding arrangements where the Council contributes to the cost of care services.

1. Please supply the name, email address and telephone number of the commissioner with responsibility for placements in supported living

2. Please provide the total number of adults (aged 18-64) with a primary support need of learning disabilities (LD) or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) funded by the Council and receiving long-term care in supported living settings. Please provide data for the financial years 2023/24, 2024/25 and where possible projected figures for 2025/26End of year snapshots have been provided as follows:
a) How many are placed in area (i.e. within the Council boundary)?
