Publications

This report makes explicit the links between health and the local economy, their interdependence, and the action that local authorities and their partners can take to ensure that health and wellbeing are key considerations in local and regional economic development strategies.

To mark the one year anniversary of our consultation, this new publication gives a number of perspectives on two broad issues: what is happening to adult social care on the ground and what life is like for people who experience care and support; and what the context is to the debate about the future of adult social care and where that might go next.

This guide is aimed at supporting local authorities and other organisations with the task of determining ordinary residence and applying the concepts of ordinary residence.

The case studies in this report showcase different approaches to supporting the health of young people.

This report was commissioned by the LGA for the Greater Manchester Health and Justice Steering Group (Learning Disability and Autism). It identifies and collates how the Criminal Justice System and its prevention partners are working to address the challenges faced by people with a learning disability and autistic people, both in the UK and internationally.

Promoting and modelling positive culture

This briefing offers examples of positive practice across four domains, namely how commissioners and providers engage with individuals and their families, support and develop their staff, promote and embed values-based leadership and culture, and work together.

The LGA has worked in partnership with providers and commissioners of independent health complaints advocacy services to develop practice guidance for commissioning these important local services.
