VPN What is Valuing People Now?

Valuing People Now is a three year strategy launched on 19th January 2009, that aims to improve the lives of people with learning disabilities, and the lives of their families and carers.
 
It is based on the belief that people with learning disabilities are people first. They have the right to lead their lives like any others, with the same opportunities and responsibilities.

The Minister for Care Services, Paul Burstow, said the Government is committed to Valuing People Now. The key priorities, for this year, are:
  1. Health - improving health outcomes for people with learning disabilities.
  2. Employment - increasing the number of people with learning disabilities in jobs.
  3. Housing - making sure that more people with learning disabilities are supported to live in their own homes.
Other Valuing People Now work includes:


  1. Families
  2. Health
  3. Workforce Issues
  4. Including Advocacy
  5. Hate Crime
  6. Reaching out to all Black and Ethnic Minority Communities
