Number of community based services for people with a learning disability in an area per 1,000 population (10307) Metric type
- Help text
- This metric is derived by the LGA (Local Government Association) from the CQC (Care Quality Commission's) Care Directory file, the file contains a complete list of the places in England where care is regulated by CQC. Using the National Statistics Postcode Lookup, we have counted the number of community based services for people with a learning disability located in an area and then created a crude rate per 1,000 resident population. These services provide care, treatment and support in the community for people with a learning disability, through a wide range of service models.
They employ a broad range of health and social care professionals mainly in multi-disciplinary teams.
They help people to live as independently as possible, manage their condition and improve it where this is possible. People using these services may receive support over a long period or for short-term interventions. They may move between the various community teams to ensure that their changing needs are met.
Examples of services that fit under this category:- Community learning disability teams
- Challenging behaviour/outreach teams.
Data are extracted once a quarter and provide a snapshot in time. It should be noted that due to changes to postcodes a small proportion cannot be matched to the latest National Statistics Postcode Lookup file and are therefore excluded from these figures.
