National Guidance on the Implementation of Local Area Co-ordination: An Easy Guide

How is Local Area Co-ordination going to progress in the future?

There needs to be more local area co-ordinators. This will help more people to get access to local support.

If there are more local area co-ordinators they will not need to work with as many people. This means that they can spend more time working with each person so that they can plan for a better life.

Local area co-ordinators may be more involved in developing communities. They will try to help improve communities so that they are more able to involve people with disabilities.

People who work with older adults are learning about local area co-ordination. They are talking about making it open to them.

There will be a new person called the National Development Worker for Local Area Co-ordination. Their job will be to help with the future development of local area co-ordination.
