In 2016 we published a briefing paper on Local Area Coordination which draws on the strengths, skills and abilities of local individuals, families and communities to support people with disabilities.

Evaluations of LAC programmes have demonstrated positive outcomes including:

• increased community and family capacity;

• increased supportive relationships/circles of support;

• reduced demand for services, improved access to relevant and timely information and cost savings
