To ask the Scottish Executive what guidance it has published to inform and support local authorities in their plans to close or otherwise change day services for adults with learning disabilities.
Answer
In 2006 The same as you? Implementation Group published
Make my day! which reported on the progress made by local partnerships and shared good practice in the modernisation of day services for adults with learning disabilities. The report set out a number of things to guide the future development of day services.
Neither The same as you? nor Make my day! advocate the closure of day services but encourage day services to modernise and focus more on education, employment and personal fulfilment.
