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.

We can support you to identify the local levers to offering Shared Lives to more people who it could provide a benefit to, including facilitating partnership building, developing strategic agreements and supporting operational implementation plans, to test and embed new ways of working.

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

  • Develop a clear and shared vision and strategy for Shared Lives diversification and growth
  • Define and develop broader partnership working and agreements with teams, organisations and people
  • Identify areas of support and an enhanced offer to Shared Lives carers, to support a wider range of people in Shared Lives arrangements.
  • Facilitate defining, developing and testing new pathways and processes into Shared Lives to support scheme diversification and growth.
  • Support the generation of increased referrals and local awareness raising with leaders, operational teams and people in communities.
  • Co-developing a high impact, strategic approach to Shared Lives carer recruitment to support your diversification aims
