RESCARE IS ABOUT CHOICE...

¨ Choice in education - including properly resourced mainstream, special day and residential schools.

¨ Choice in housing - including small scale ordinary housing, supported living, village and intentional communities as well as residential care.

¨ Choice in support services - including day centres and respite care.

¨ Choice overall in the implementation of ‘Valuing People, A New Strategy for Learning Disability for the 21st Century (2001)’, in full - including the above.

¨ It is not a case of one type of provision versus another but a comprehensive service with each option having a part to play.

¨ It is not a case of one family versus another but a united voice reflecting respect for the choice and wishes of each family who after all know their own dependent relative best.

¨ ‘Valuing People, A New Strategy for Learning Disability for the 21st Century (2001)’ said “The role of public services is to facilitate choice not frustrate it.”
