Source — verbatim from the inquiry
●Inquiry recommendation
Communication between the HSCTs and/or resettlement service providers and families and people with learning disabilities should be more open and transparent. Each service user/family should have appointed to them a key individual who is responsible for ensuring both the family and the service user are consulted and kept informed in relation to considerations of resettlement, including the staff training of the proposed resettlement. The key individual should also be in a position to assist with advice on direct payments. (See also Recommendation 5 (R5) above.)

How this page is built
Source and Response are verbatim from primary documents. The Evidence trail records published activity since — written statements, consultation outcomes, inspection findings, parliamentary references. The Index does not paraphrase or characterise intent; it tracks what has been published. Where the evidence is the absence of action (a missed deadline, a slipped timetable), that absence is documented from primary sources rather than inferred.
This recommendation's data is verified periodically against primary sources. The Index is monitored for staleness weekly.
