COMMUNITY? - MAKING PLACES FOR PEOPLE TO CALL HOME? Everyone, with no exception, deserves a place to call home. Person by person, area by area, the number of people with learning disabilities and autism in secure hospitals or assessment and treatment settings will permanently reduce. At the same time local community based support and early intervention will improve to the point it will become extremely rare for a person to be excluded from the right to live their life outside of a hospital setting. These are the aims of the Winterbourne view joint improvement programme; a place I call home. If you are working to make this a reality in your area then we would like to invite you to take part in an action learning set with others to work out how best to do this. Each set will consist of 12 24 people with direct responsibility for helping an individual, family or small groups of people who have a learning disability or autism and display or are at risk of displaying challenging behaviour. The sets are for people like social workers, care co- ordinators, peer advocates, family carers, nurses and community behaviour support team members. There is no charge to attend. Payment for time and expenses can be paid for anyone who is acting in an unwaged capacity (in line with Skills for Care participation policy) Participants should come prepared to help each other find and put into practice solutions for the actual individuals who they are helping to return to their home area from an inpatient setting, or to stay in their own community. Each set will meet for a full day each month for four months to share the problems they are facing and the solutions they are creating. Sets will run from September 2014 February 2015 at three locations across England depending on demand. The first set will start on the 11th September from 10.00 15.00 in Leeds, That group will meet again on 28th October and the 25th November and in January 2015. We plan to run another two sets starting in October and November and these sets will meet in another part of England so if you are keen to participate but Leeds is too far away then let us know.
