Supporting People with Learning Disabilities Policy
Please note that all the policies on Navigate-Care are templates and should be amended to fit the requirements of your care service.
Policy Statement
This care service is committed to promoting the rights and interests of people with learning disabilities in line with national and local policies and strategies. It considers that it is always important to challenge the general perceptions of learning-disabled people as being “different” from other people and the stereotypes and prejudices that accompany such perceptions.
The service’s policies emphasise the rights and needs of every learning-disabled person to have a life that affords the same opportunities for community living and development as anyone else in society.
