Transforming
Care Nationally
Transforming Care means changing things to
make health and social care better.
The Government found out that lots of people
were living in hospitals and this had to change.
Hospitals are not homes.
What is Transforming Care?
Too many people with learning disabilities and/or autism go into hospital when there
should be a better option for them.
People should be able to live in their local
community and get the support they need to
live well.
Transforming
Care Nationally
The agreement promised to make health and
social care better and to move people who
should not have been placed in hospital into
the community.
After Winterbourne View closed, the
Government signed an agreement on
Transforming Care.
In 2011, a hospital called Winterbourne View
had to close. The hospital treated people with
learning disabilities very badly.
The Government and organisations across
health and social care are making plans to
transform care for people with learning
disabilities, autism, mental health issues or
behaviour that challenges.

What the Government says about Transforming Care
Who is the Plan for?
Transforming
Care Nationally
Some people find it difficult to cope, and
have behaviour that is concerning.
The Plan is for children, young people and
adults who have a learning disability or autism.
Some people may also have a mental
health problem.
There are 48 Transforming Care Partnerships
across the country.
Plans include improving community services so
that people can live near their family and
friends, and making sure that the right staff with
the right skills are there to support and care for
people.
Each of the local plans will be ‘living’
documents, continuing to be developed in
partnership with people and their families and
carers, as well as charities and other groups.
