Project Description

Derby has a team of 14 LACs across its neighbourhoods. Their remit is to enable those with needs to support themselves and to facilitate local communities to provide similarly in order to reduce isolation and service use and create more receptive, enabling and responsive communities.

Initial internal figures show that double the target number of care-experienced young people (40 in total) had been successfully supported as of February 2019. An evaluation and cost benefit analysis in 2013 found that for every £1.00 invested in LAC, £4.00 is saved by other services.

Evaluation

DfE funded independent evaluation will be published in 2020.
