Supported Living 2024-2025 - This consultation has now ended

What we would like you to do
Over the next year, the Council will need to make tough decisions to balance next year’s budget due to Government cuts, inflation and increasing demand for services such as social care as more residents require support. This short survey is to help us find out what you think about our proposal for improving consistency across our learning disability and autism supported living service. Here's a summary of what we propose: 
“We propose to ensure there is a more consistent funding approach in place between people using our Independent Support Living scheme who have comparable levels of care and support needs. We will do this by carrying out reviews with people to ensure that a reasonable and consistent amount of support is in place and reducing funding where paid support is not used or required."
We are consulting on all our proposals between 30 November 2023 and 17 January 2024. Have your say by completing the short survey here: Your views on supported living, or by emailing us at: letstalk@newcastle.gov.uk. We have also produced a PDF copy of our questions, which can be found at the bottom of the page and can be printed off, completed, and returned to us at: FREEPOST Let’s Talk if this is easier for you or someone you know.
Here is the Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA) for this proposal, a summary of what we propose to do, and the impact we expect it will have: Supported Living 2024-2025. You can also find it attached to this consultation at the bottom of the page. Please do give us your views.

What happens next
After the consultation closes, in February 2024 Cabinet will be asked to recommend the post-consultation budget to City Council. City Council will debate and vote on the budget at their meeting in March 2024. We will publish the final budget proposals, including a report on the consultation findings, on our website: Newcastle City Council. Thank you for giving us your views.
