‘Pathways to Inclusion’ is a service from MCCH who are based in Kent. The Pilot aims to improve the ability of adults with learning disabilities, autism or mental health problems to access, housing, social and health care, learning, employment, leisure and financial services. It focuses on people who experience chronic exclusion, as well as those with histories of ‘bouncing’ in and out of services. This includes adults with autism and Asperger syndrome who are often undiagnosed, neglected, and ineligible for services.
The pilot engages service users, commissioners and providers of services in developing better outcomes, through individual support, equipping adults through person centred plans, mentoring and advocacy. It helps people to find and sustain their way through services and to support individuals in accessing individual budgets and self determined services.
The team take referrals from a wide range of services including those from family or friends, any professional and, importantly, self-referrals. The staff team comprises a project co-ordinator, 3 Support workers and an Administrator.
