What is the Good Lives Alliance?

The Good Lives Alliance is predominantly for people aged 18 and over, although on occasion, it may be appropriate for some young adults aged 16 and over.

The Good Lives Alliance (GLA) is a list of providers that Wiltshire Council has checked to make sure that they can provide good quality services in Wiltshire that are value for money. All service providers on the scheme have gone through a full accreditation process evidencing their skills, knowledge and experience.

Wiltshire Council will expect its providers to be the expert in the service they offer, being aware of all relevant national policy and legislation and ensure they are able to demonstrate this clearly, not only in their procedures and information, but in their delivery of care and support on a day to day basis.

The Good Lives Alliance should promote a “wrap around” service which enables people to live independently: -

• in their family homes,

• or in a tenancy,

• or with other customers in a supported living arrangement

• or in a residential care home

The Good Lives Alliance will encompass support services for adults of working age who may present with but not limited to the following: -

• mental health needs

• learning disability (with or without dementia)

• autistic spectrum condition

• physical or sensory needs

• social, emotional and behavioural needs

• speech, language and communication needs
