We bring to your attention the website of a friend and supporter of Rescare, Charles Henley:

http://learningdisabilitiesproblems.co.uk>

Charles Henley campaigns against the decline in the provision of day services (e.g. the closure of day-centres).

As well as maintaining his website, he has published a book on the issue ‘Learning Disabilities, The Rise and Potential Demise of Structured Day Services for Adults with Learning Disabilities, 1955 – 2005’. (Full description and purchase details on his website).

“Commonsense dictates that a moratorium is placed on further closures of day centres, intentional residential community resources, or respite care facilities until a coherent and comprehensive national policy has been identified and validated.”
