The keys to life: improving quality of life for people with learning disabilities

The same as you?’ (2000) was the original 10-year programme designed to meet the needs of people with learning disabilities in Scotland. It was highly successful in shifting the balance of care to support more people to live in the community. This new 10-year strategy sets out a vision for improved partnership working to deliver better outcomes for people with learning disabilities, and their families and carers. It has more than 50 recommendations, most of which are aimed at health. The strategy also covers commissioning of public services; independent living; shifting the culture and keeping safe; breaking stereotypes; the needs of people with profound and multiple disabilities; criminal justice; and complex care. It includes good practice examples and case studies. Appendices include a glossary and weblinks to key organisations.
