This strategy aims to maximise the
independence, choice and control for
people with a learning disability, mental health condition and/or
autism spectrum condition in Wiltshire by providing the right
accommodation and support in the right place at the right
time.
Our focus in Wiltshire is to move away from residential care and
ensure that everybody who can hold their own tenancy is given the
support to do so. This means both developing new supported
accommodation and providing care packages to enable people to live
in the community.
We currently face several challenges which stop us realising this
vision. The strategy identifies these challenges and sets out a
plan of action as to how we can overcome them.

Consultation process
The vision and objectives of this strategy are
based on what people in Wiltshire say they want from accommodation
and support. The strategy describes co-production and engagement
with adults, young people and carers. The strategy has also had
significant input from the multi-agency Wiltshire Accommodation
Steering Group, which includes reps from children's and adult
social care, joint commissioning, housing, CCG, voluntary sector
(Wiltshire CIL and Wiltshire PCC) and provider market.
