What does Valuing People say?
Government Objective: To enable people with learning disabilities to lead full and purposeful lives within their community and to develop a range of friendships, activities and relationships.
Many people with learning disabilities do not take part in community activities.
They do not have many friends except for people that are paid to be with them, their family, or other people with learning disabilities who they live with.
People who go to big day centres do not get chance to have their own hobbies or train to get jobs.
