The brief

The Keyworking Function (KWF) has been developed as a response to the NHS England & NHS Improvement Long Term Plan (LTP) commitment that by 2023/24, children and young people with a learning disability, autism, or both, with the most complex needs will have a designated Keyworker: implementing the recommendations made by Dame Christine Lenehan.

These are our children: a review by Dame Christine Lenehan.

Initially, keyworker support has been provided to children and young people with a learning disability and/or who are autistic, to avoid unnecessary admission or overly lengthy stays in mental health or specialist learning disability settings, and to keep them and their families safe and well in their community.

Every ICS now has an operational, or soon to be operational, keyworking service, funded by new money from the NHS Long Term Plan delivered through each of the seven NHS England regions.

Some areas have already extended this offer to young people up to the age of 25.

From 2023/24, it is expected that all ICSs will offer their keyworking services to young people up to the age of 25.

In addition, by 2024, NHS England are due to deliver the "Keyworker Code of Practice".
