Help Norfolk County Council gather views on housing

Norfolk County Council is asking people with learning disabilities and autistic people to complete a short survey about housing and support. Feedback gathered in 2021 helped shape new Supported Living in Norfolk, with some homes opening in 2026. The council now wants to check these plans still reflect what people need.

The survey is open until 11 January 2026 and can be completed online at

https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/ldahousingsurvey/ . Paper copies are available by emailing sl.prog@norfolk.gov.uk . Services can also print copies themselves.

All responses are anonymous and will be shared with the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) to help shape future housing plans. A summary of findings will be published by April 2026.

Thank you for supporting this important work.

Norfolk's Drug and Alchol System

What is the SULE Project?

The Substance Use Lived Experience (SULE) Project is a research initiative led by Peer Researchers with lived experience of recovery from substance misuse. The project aims to shape the future of Norfolk’s drug and alcohol support system by gathering the voices of:

  • People who are currently or have previously accessed drug and alcohol services.
  • People who use or have used substances but have not accessed formal support.
  • Friends, families, and carers of those affected by substance use.

The goal is to identify what works well and what could be improved, ensuring that lived experiences influence decision-making at all levels.

How to Get Involved

If you have lived experience or insights to share, there are several ways to participate:

  • One-to-One Conversations – Share your experiences confidentially in a format that suits you (in-person, online, or by phone).
  • Small Group Discussions – Join a group to discuss issues and help develop a lived experience-led recovery community in Norfolk.
