| Annotation | The Standards We Expect Project - which began in 2005, ending in June 2008 - was funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF), and looked at services for people with disabilities from the barriers and equalities approach. The Project thinks that person centred services are about helping people to live their lives as they want to. It found eight important things about person centred support: choice and control; setting goals; good relationships; listening; information; being positive; learning; and flexibility. This information pack is for service users who came to the training workshops and took part in the Project. It aims to share ideas and provide access to information on rights, services, money support (e.g. direct payments and individual budgets) and housing. (RH). |
