Making it Happen

Valuing People Now is about making it happen for everyone with learning disabilities everywhere. It challenges services, family carers and everyone who works with people with learning disabilities to look at people’s needs and wishes before planning.

Valuing People Now has established various mechanisms, relationships with a number of bodies and expertise at local levels in order to ensure that all people with learning disabilities are supported to live better lives. The Valuing People Now Team has published various resources to make sure that people share good case studies, guidance and practice.

The Valuing People Now Team is working with many groups and individuals to ensure delivery of Valuing People Now. Some of the groups include:

• Schools, Colleges and Universities ;
• Prison Officials;
• Partnership Boards;
• Regional Programme Boards;
