What is Valuing People?
Valuing People is the government's plan for making the lives of people with learning disabilities, their families and carers better.
It was written in 2001, and it was the first White Paper for people with learning disabilities for 30 years. It covers England.
It is based on people having:
- their rights as citizens
- inclusion in local communities
- choice in daily life
- real chances to be independent
It was written with help from people with learning disabilities, family carers, and people who work in services or other organisations for people with learning disabilities.
It came with an easier to understand version, as well as a report from the service users advisory group called 'Nothing about us without us', a report on family carers called 'Family matters', and a report on learning difficulties and ethnicity. You can find these papers, and other information about Valuing People from the key papers page in this section.
