| Annotation | Over the last 50 years, de-institutionalisation has dominated the development of social policy for people with learning disabilities in most of the world's richer countries. This article was first published in Learning disability Review (vol 10, no 1, 2005). In it, the authors attempt to place what has been learned of the successes and failures of de-institutionalisation in the light of three themes clearly evident in the work undertaken by Jack Tizard and colleagues: the unrealised potential of people with learning disabilities; the importance of measuring and analysing quality in residential services; and the value of applied research.
