Brick-by-Brick provide resources to support mental health hospital-to-home discharge planning for autistic people and people with a learning disability – protocol document and housing needs assessment templates

The protocol will help practitioners such as social workers, occupational therapists, clinicians, C(E)TR leads, and commissioners working in local health and social care systems to identify housing options for autistic people and people with a learning disability, who are inpatients in mental health hospitals.

The aim is to ensure that housing is planned and sourced much earlier within discharge process, to enable people to be discharged in a timely manner into community-based housing settings.
