White paper

Read and search the white paper

Start with experience-informed checks and source guidance, or go directly to the white-paper reading library. ID means intellectual disability; ABI means acquired brain injury.

You can search the complete extracted 390-page core and all 33 crosswalks in ordinary words, browse section headings, follow original page and paragraph references, and open deposited PDFs, supporting packs and the template archive. A crosswalk connects a proposed standard with a service situation. If you need a person, use the human support routes. Reading does not require an account, subscription or AI.

Read the corrections alongside the original. Repository v3, published 23 October 2026, preserves the original core v1.0 dated 25 September 2025 and adds audit/addendum v0.3. The crosswalks retain their overdue 20 December 2025 review date. Reform proposals are separate from current official guidance.

Search can miss or poorly match material. Extracted text may lose layout and table relationships. Original documents remain available; this reading edition is not validated Easy Read or professional legal, clinical or accessibility approval.
