Valuing People White Paper
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.
