Partnership in Practice Agreement - Dundee City Council

Introduction
This is the third Partnership In Practice agreement (or PIP) for
Dundee. It is the plan for developing services to support people
with learning disabilities and their families in Dundee from 2007
to 2010.
The Partnership in Practice agreement (PIP) is an agreement
between Dundee City Council, NHS Tayside, Dundee
Community Health Partnership and other partners. It sets
out plans for care and health services, but it also has plans
for improving the support available to people with learning
disabilities and their families and carers in other areas, which
are important to them. These other areas include housing,
education, employment, leisure and transport.
The need for Partnership in Practice agreements was the first
recommendation of the national review of services for learning
disabilities in Scotland, which was called “The Same As You?”
“The Same As You?” said that there were seven principles that
should be used to support people with learning disabilities to
lead full and active lives. They are the guide for learning disability
services in Dundee, and the principles on which this Partnership
in Practice agreement is based.
