There is a requirement for the provider to be responsive to referrals for unplanned respite at short notice; there is a requirement for emergency and urgent crisis placements: * An 'emergency' will be understood to mean a placement is required within 24 hours * An 'urgent' placement will be understood to mean a placement is required within seven days The unplanned (crisis) service will provide a safe and supportive living environment in which people who have a learning disability and who present with challenging behaviour will receive care, ongoing assessment and preparing for care through the resolution of their crisis.
