The Local Government Association and the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services, who work together as Partners in Care and Health, have been working alongside NHS England to develop a set of guiding principles for integrated care systems, setting out how partners in local systems can work together to improve the lives and outcomes of people with a learning disability and autistic people, of all ages.

It is intended that these principles encourage a partnership approach, across health, local government, and wider partners, within local systems.
