| Annotation | The White Paper "Aiming for excellence: modernising social work services in Scotland" (March 1999) set out proposals for National Care Standards for a wide range of social care provision. The National Care Standards Committee (NCSC) set up Working Groups to draft these standards (the Care at Home Working Group chaired by Mary Marshall, the Learning Disabilities Working Group chaired by James Hogg, the Physical and Sensory Impairment Working Group chaired by Etienne d'Aboville, and the Drugs and Alcohol Working Group chaired by Netta Maciver). Care standards for care at home focus on the quality of the experience of those using the service. Standards of care for people with learning disabilities concern rights and responsibilities, where they want to live, feeling safe and being accepted, personal development, support, and health. Key issues in standards for people with physical and sensory impairment include: choice and empowerment; privacy and dignity; living one's own life; communication; health and well-being; and safety and risk. For alcohol and drug problems, core common standards are identified with regard to access, buildings and infrastructure, services, and staffing. (RH). |
