The LeDeR (Learning disabilities mortality review) Programme reviews the lives and deaths of people with learning disabilities and autistic people across England. The aim of the programme is to learn from people's experiences of using health and social care services in Surrey and make changes to make sure that people with learning disabilities and autistic people receive high quality care which helps them to stay healthy and get the support they need.

The annual report page gives an overview of the LeDeR programme and how this has been implemented across Surrey Heartlands, including reports for previous years.

LeDeR strategy: Putting the learning from LeDeR into Action
Surrey developed an Action From Learning Report 2020 to 2021 in response to the learning from LeDeR reviews.
There is now a Surrey Heartlands Strategy 2021 to 2024 that sets out what we would like to achieve over the next 3 years to make care better for people with learning disabilities and Autistic people in Surrey.
