Learning Disability and Autism Commissioners Network Conference 2026
ENDING INSTITUTIONAL CARE
July

Bristol
St Michael's Centre
Bristol BS34 8PD
A one-day, solutions-focused conference bringing together commissioners, people with lived experience, providers, and system leaders to address one clear challenge: How we move away from institutional models and towards neighbourhood-based, person-led support.
This conference creates a practical, values-led space for commissioners and partners to explore what it really takes to reduce, and ultimately end, the use of institutional settings.
What to Expect:
Inspirational keynote speakers
Practical models you can apply in your local area
Connections with peers working towards the same goal
Conference Programme
Keynote sessions will cover commissioning for change, housing solutions, lived experience leadership, Individual Service Funds, wraparound support, technology and choice, and practical examples of community-based support in action. The full conference programme will be published soon.
