You First Support Services works closely with local authorities to deliver tailored, community-based support for adults with learning disabilities, autism, and mental health needs. Here’s how that partnership typically functions:

• Commissioned Services: Local authorities may commission You First to provide supported living or domiciliary care packages for individuals, ensuring care is aligned with assessed needs and personal goals.
• Shared Planning: They collaborate on care planning and reviews, ensuring that support is person-centred and responsive to changing needs.
• Housing and Support Integration: Through partnerships like the one with Places for People, You First helps secure housing while delivering the support element, often coordinated with local authority housing and social care teams.
• Safeguarding and Compliance: They work within the frameworks set by local safeguarding boards and the Care Quality Commission (CQC), ensuring legal compliance and high standards of care.
• Feedback and Co-Production: Local authorities and You First often engage in co-production with individuals and families, shaping services based on lived experience and feedback.
