1. Learning Disability Partnership Board A Place to Live – Supported Living Update 16 November 2011 Tim Willis Strategic Commissioning Project Lead

2. Background Few people with Learning Disabilities have choice and control over where and who they live with 300+ people in Warwickshire are living in residential care Approximately 75 people meet the profile for Supported Living People with Learning Disabilities have told us they prefer supported living to residential care Many people are living with elderly carers or relatives who could share their home
