Learning Disability Profiles

The learning disabilities profile collates and presents a wide range of data, developed from a variety of relevant, robust sources. The profile provides a set of tools that allow planners, providers and stakeholders to profile their area and benchmark against similar populations. The aim is to provide information for improvement, not judgement.

Tool structure

The learning disabilities profiling tool brings together a range of data, presented in the form of indicators, which are grouped into five key sections:

  • Population
  • Education
  • Health and social care
  • Accommodation
  • Employment

A number of geographies are available with which to view each indicator and these include NHS geographies such as clinical commissioning group (CCG), integrated care board (ICB), and local government geographies such as upper tier local authority (UTLA) and regions, as well as England level data.

Supporting information

The learning disabilities profile has also produced a range of additional intelligence products with which to assist health professionals in key decision-making. The range of information, when used alongside the profile may enable and improve decisions about local services. These products can be found in:
