Question from Community Care – Helping people with learning difficulties live independently

Helping people with learning difficulties live independently

By Kate Linsky

* How involved is the rest of your council in making sure that people with learning disabilities are included in mainstream services?
* How do you engage and empower people with learning disabilities and their carers to be involved in planning and prioritising services?
* Are self advocacy groups well supported in your area?
* How do you maintain and strengthen relationships with partners outside the council?
