Diversifying Shared Lives

Adults with a learning disability are the single largest demographic groups drawing on Shared Lives, however there is an increasing diversity in how Shared Lives can provide support in other areas such as supporting people with mental ill health and dementia.

Diversifying Shared Lives involves a range of considerations, and our team can support you to:

  • develop a clear and shared vision for Shared Lives diversification
  • define and develop broader ‘system’ working and agreement with local partners
  • explore enhanced support and the offer to Shared Lives carers,
  • define new pathways and processes into Shared Lives
  • support awareness raising and generating relevant referrals
  • support recruitment of carer activities
