De-registration
What is it?
• Service providers are looking at changing residential
care homes to supported living accommodation (your own
home with support). This is de-registration.
• Supported Living – offers more housing choices and
tenants’ rights to people with learning disabilities.
• Tenancy agreement – document you sign when you move
into your own property, which explains your rights and
the rules for living in the property. Also includes how
much rent you pay and when.
