Professionals working in autism, learning disability and mental health will have access to training on personalised care approaches. The exact number to be trained will be determined locally based on staffing levels and local needs.

The Care Act 2014 places responsibilities on local authorities in England to promote their local care markets. They are required to promote a diverse, sustainable, high quality market of care and support providers for people in their local area.

Local authorities are expected to understand and articulate likely future demand for services in their area; engage with care providers to understand the likely supply of services; provide signals to the market of their intent; and as needed, intervene in the market to stimulate change and innovation in providers to better meet the needs of people and communities.
