| Annotation | The Supporting People programme began in April 2003, and was designed to separate out the costs of bricks-and-mortar housing from the costs of the support necessary for vulnerable adults to attain or maintain independent tenancies. These findings outline a research project by Rachel Fyson, Beth Tarleton, Linda Ward, in which they examined how local Supporting People teams were interpreting national guidelines in relation to the provision of housing-related support, and to explore the impact that this was having on people with learning disabilities in England. It was also hoped to find out how the core aims of the 'Valuing people' White Paper - of promoting rights, choice, independence and control of people with learning disabilities - were being supported by this programme. The full report, 'Support for living? The impact of the Supporting People programme on housing and support for adults with learning disabilities', is published by the Policy Press. (KJ/RH). |
