Making Bromley Even Better
Bromley Council is investing in a review of adult learning disability services as part of its corporate strategy.
Bromley Council is set to invest £500,000 in a comprehensive review of its services for working-age adults with learning disabilities, as reported in September 2026. This initiative, part of the Better Lives Programme under the Making Bromley Even Better strategy, aims to improve outcomes for residents and develop a more financially sustainable support model.
The review addresses significant financial pressures within existing services, with approximately 50% of the adult social care budget now allocated to learning disability services. A report in September 2026 noted this is a notable increase from around 26% in 2017/18, partly due to an over-reliance on residential care.
The Adult Care and Health Policy Development and Scrutiny Committee discussed the refresh of the Adult Care and Health Portfolio Plan for 2026/27 in September 2026, which relates to the broader adult social care context. No specific upcoming meetings related to the Making Bromley Even Better strategy have been announced.
