Adult Learning Disability and Autism Day Services - Find a freedom of information request

I would like to make the following request for information relating to adult learning disability and autism day services.

1. Supported in a group

a. The average (arithmetic mean in £ and pence) rate you pay per hour for someone supported in a group? (for example, the day rate divided by 6 hours + staff and people present)

b. What is the expected ratio of staff to supported persons at these day services?

c. Do your day services for those supported in a group include transport? Yes/No

d. Do your day services for those supported in a group include food/refreshments? Yes/No


2. 1-1 support

a. Again focusing on day services, the average (arithmetic mean in £ and pence) rate you pay per hour for someone who needs 1-1 support?

b. Do your 1-1 support day services include transport? Yes/No

c. Do your 1-1 support day services include food/refreshments? Yes/No
 

We are asking for two different service fee rates.

3) for people supported on a one-to-one basis and 2) for people supported on a group basis. If two staff are supporting up to 8 people, we would expect the hourly rate for the service to be approximately a quarter of the hourly rate for a one-to-one service.

I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.
