The Learning Disabilities Floating Support (LDCS) service is a locality model (covering North/South Camden) that seeks to improve outcomes for children (14+) and adults (18+) with LD and a range of complex co-occurring needs, such as mental health, autism and behaviours of concern.

It is preventative in nature, as the support prevents, reduces and delays the need for more intensive accommodation-based support.

The service also contributes to meeting the Council's statutory duties under the Care Act and Section 117 of the Mental Health Act.

The children's element of the service, (14- 25 year), applies the learning from the 'Closer to Camden' Commissioning Strategy for Children with Complex Needs, which cites the importance of an early intervention approach in reducing the need for residential placements and improving transition outcomes for young people.
