Consensus Support

Consensus Support (officially Consensus Support Services Limited) is a leading national provider of specialist health and social care across the UK. The organisation focuses on supporting individuals with learning disabilities, autism, and complex needs, including those with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), through a range of residential and community-based settings.

Who We Are

Consensus Support operates as a specialist health and social care provider, functioning as a strategic partner for over 100 local authorities and Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) across England, Scotland, and Wales.

The organisation supports over 600 individuals across more than 90 services. Their model is built on the core principle of "opportunity, choice, and success," aiming to empower individuals to live as independently as possible while receiving the specific clinical or behavioral support they require.

As part of the Caring Homes Group, Consensus maintains a massive national footprint. They are widely recognised for their expertise in Prader-Willi Syndrome, being one of the few providers in the UK with dedicated, specialist environments designed specifically to manage the complexities of the condition.

All services operate in line with Care Quality Commission (CQC), Care Inspectorate (Scotland), and CIW (Wales) standards, ensuring a high-quality, regulated environment for all residents and service users.
