Essex support over 4000 adults with Learning disabilities and/or Autism
We spend over £200 million each year doing this
Our average cost per individual to do this is more that other comparable Local Authorities – currently exploring this
Although our average spend per individual is higher than other Local Authorities the outcomes for these adults do not appear to be any better – currently exploring this
LD and Autism is one of the 4 Medium Term Areas of focus for ECC
We currently support approximately 900 people in tenancy based accommodation

3. The vision for Essex
Support is person centred, progressive and meets agreed outcomes
People with a learning disability and Autism are able to live the life they choose with the same choice, rights and responsibilities as other citizens.
Less reliance on Residential Care
That the support provided is best value for Essex County Council
