Transforming Care Assurance Board

The Transforming Care Assurance Board has been set up to oversee the progress of commitments that were outlined in response to Winterbourne View across health and social care organisations.

The Board’s role is to take action and make sure progress is made on commitments in Transforming care: A national response to Winterbourne View Hospital and DH Winterbourne View Review Concordat: Programme of Action. The Board will help to make sure that everyone with an interest in the ‘Transforming Care’ programme, including self-advocates, family carers and voluntary organisations are actively involved in its work. It reports to the cross-government Learning Disability Programme Board.
