VODG members are invited to explore the findings of a recent project by PPL and the More than a Provider collaborative, made up of Brandon Trust, Certitude, Choice Support, Dimensions, Macintyre and United Response.
PPL partnered with More than a Provider to calculate and propose national fee parameters for learning disability and autism supported living in 2025/26, that represent the fair cost of care. Outputs from the project include a thought leadership paper, methodology note and a costing tool for commissioners and providers.
This project is seeking to facilitate an honest conversation about what it costs to deliver supported living at both a national and local level, and the importance of supported living for the people that draw on support.
This spotlight session will provide an opportunity to hear from Joe Kane-Smith from PPL who will share the findings of this work.
Please note, should you have any accessibility requirements, we will do our best to make necessary arrangements to support you; however, we may require up to four weeks notice, so please list your requirements on the booking form. Closed captions are used as a standard in online meetings. If you have any questions, please email [email protected].
