PARTNERSHIP IN PRACTICE 2007-2010 7 1
2 2. Taking Control and Standing Up for Yourself The last PIP said: • people should have access to the information and support they need to know the options they have and make their views known • people need to have more control over their own lives and should be able to access direct payments if they want. What have we done? • in Dundee 283 people with learning disabilities now have personal plans and 3 are receiving direct payments. Some people get money from the Independent Living Fund (ILF) • we have reviewed advocacy services • the SAY Group at Advocating Together has been talking with people who are ready to leave school about a number of issues, and there is a ‘Your Say’ newsletter that provides information to people. What do you think? • people with learning disabilities in Dundee think that having independent advocates is a good idea because it helps them speak up for themselves. They also think that self advocacy is a good idea. They would like to see more of both • some people have experience of a high turnover of workers and want a longer term commitment from independent advocates • there are different views about the role of advocacy. Some people see Advocates as helping people make their views known and others thought they had a role to safeguard people’s rights • it is seen as positive that Independent Advocacy services have been reviewed so that there will be a better idea of the services that are still needed, and how to organise them 8 PARTNERSHIP IN PRACTICE 2007-2010
