Non Accommodation Based Services Review

Non-accommodation based support (NABS) services make a significant contribution to the lives of many people in Suffolk.  Currently Suffolk Supporting People commissions 28 organisations to provide 50 services.  In 2004/2005 Suffolk Supporting People spent approximately £3.55 million on non-accommodation based support services, which represents over 17% of its total expenditure.

The Suffolk Supporting People Five-Year Strategy 2005-2010 resolved to undertake a review of floating support and has commissioned this report.

In October 2005 Supporting People published "Flexible Futures - A Review Of Non-accommodation Based Support ".
