Integrated Learning Disabilities Strategy 2025-2030
Bromley Council is focusing on the financial sustainability of learning disability services, investing in a review to improve outcomes and address budget pressures.
Bromley Council is investing £500,000 in a review of services for working-age adults with learning disabilities, as reported in September 2026. This initiative, part of the Better Lives Programme, aims to improve outcomes for residents and develop a financially sustainable support model. The council faces significant financial pressures, with learning disability services now accounting for approximately 50% of the adult social care budget, partly due to an over-reliance on residential care.
The Integrated Learning Disabilities Strategy 2025-2030, which outlines Bromley's approach to learning disabilities services, is overseen by the Joint Strategic Commissioning Board. This board received updates in September 2026. No further meetings concerning the strategy are currently scheduled in the provided information.
