Transforming Care Local Area Emergency Protocol review
Information to help you decide
For the person being reviewed and family carers
Transforming Care is about improving the health and care
system for people with learning disabilities or autism
who also have mental health conditions or behaviour which
challenges. Transforming Care is about helping people live
the best lives possible, in the right place and with the support
they need. It is about helping people lead fulfilling and safe
lives in their communities whenever possible, with less need
for long stays in hospitals and similar places.
What is a ‘Local Area Emergency Protocol (LAEP) review?
A LAEP Review is a meeting or teleconference (telephone
call) that happens when it is thought a person may urgently
need to go into hospital. The aim is to make sure the person
gets the best possible care.
The people invited to take part in the review will include those
that are involved in the person’s care as well as others from
health and social care who organise services for people with
learning disabilities and/or autism. The person who may need
to go into hospital can be invited to take part as well as their
family.

All the meetings are private and confidential. Anything we write down will be kept in a safe place.
The things we want to find out are:
1. Why might the person need to go to hospital?
2. Is there anything that could be put into place in the
community so the person can stay at home?
3. Is there somewhere else the person can be cared for that
is not a hospital if they cannot stay in their own home?
4. If a hospital admission is required, what would be the aim
of the admission?
What happens afterwards?
A decision will be made about:
- whether or not the person needs to go to hospital
or
- what other support should be put in place in the
community.
A report will be written about the review.
Do I have to take part in the review?
It is your choice to take part and you can change your mind at

It is up to you, the person being reviewed, to decide.
It’s OK to ask other people what they think, if it helps you.
