Complex needs community support services - please share your views.

Closed 1 Sep 2024

Opened 29 Jul 2024

Overview

This survey is for customers and parent/carers who use Community Support Services for adults with learning disabilities and/or autism with high support needs.

Warwickshire County Council (WCC) and the Integrated Care Board (ICB) currently contract four Day Centres across Warwickshire that provide day services for people with a learning disability and/or autism, aged 18 years and over, who have been assessed as having high support needs under the Care Act 2014 or NHS Continuing Healthcare and meet the criteria.

The aim of the Community Support Services for adults with learning disabilities and/or autism with high support needs is to provide building-based day care and support to customers with complex and multiple disabilities.

 The current Community Support Services for adults with learning disabilities and/or autism with high support needs will come to an end in July 2025 with new contracts for services starting on 1st August 2025. WCC and ICB are gathering information from individuals who are currently, or may in the future, use this provision and their families and carers that care for them.  This survey is one of the multiple ways we are engaging with multiple stakeholders to inform the redesign of the commissioning approach for this service.

We would like to understand what has worked well, what could be improved, and for parents/carers to share ideas on how this provision could look in the future.
