The council will be using the Progression Model to help commission services from now on. This means finding out about people’s aspirations (hopes and dreams) and planning services to help people reach maximum levels of independence.

The Progression Model was developed in 2010 by the Department of Health. It was designed to help make services better. It splits services into 4 areas.

1. Support for people who live independently This includes things like information or advice services. Services that help people look after themselves and stay independent in the community.

2. Low level community support This includes services like outreach support (home care or domiciliary care) or housing related support, where people generally need lower levels of support from a care provider for example.

3. Specialist community support This includes services like supported living. This is where people may need more intensive support from staff in a supported tenancy for example. This may include overnight support where appropriate.

4. Accommodation based support This includes services where accommodation and support are linked. Like 24 hour a day residential or nursing care, where support and accommodation are delivered from the same service provider.

Where people receive services in any of these areas, the council will work with providers to make sure they support people to be as independent as possible in line with the progression model.

The council will also plan to ensure we better understand the housing needs of people with learning disabilities and/or autism in the future, and what types of services people need from a younger age (also known as the transition to adulthood).
