The document discusses improving care for people with learning disabilities and autism. It notes that care is not always safe or personalized for these groups. It also states that some trusts have failed to respect people's rights, and there are workforce skills deficits in knowledge of learning disabilities and autism. The Learning Disability Improvement Standards were created to address these issues and reflect principles of person-centered care. The standards aim to tackle health inequalities over the next 10 years and create an evidence base to develop targeted initiatives.

6. People with learning disabilities, their families and carers,
are entitled to high quality care across all services
provided by the NHS. BUT:
• Care and treatment isn’t always safe and personalised
• People don’t always get the same access and outcomes as
non-disabled people
• Some Trusts have failed to respect and protect people rights
• We know there are skills deficits across the workforce in
relation to knowledge of learning disability and autism.

8. • Fundamental objective is tackling health inequalities whilst building the long term plan
over the next 10 years.
• Opportunity to create a ‘real time’ evidence base from which targeted workstreams and
initiatives can be developed.
• To create a repository of provider by provider, region by region, intelligence to account
both exemplars and challenges.
• By applying the standards across ‘all NHS funded care’ a greater degree of equity will be
achieved.
