1.1 Review current theoretical approaches to group living provision for adults
The approach to current group living provision has moved a long way forward since the days of the workhouse or asylums. The NHS and Community Care Act 1990 called for a more community based approach to care with the introduction of the person-cantered approach, by supporting the independence and autonomy of the service users. Some service users who require special consideration such as people with learning disabilities can still find the need to live in a group living environment, but these establishments tend to be much smaller than the old hospitals.
OLPA for example only have homes that are four bedded which enables a truly person centred approach, and promotes the independence of the service users to enable them to achieve positive outcomes. Wolf Wolfensberger’s formulation of the principle of Normalisation means “Making available to all people with disabilities patterns of life and conditions of everyday living which are as close as possible to the regular circumstances and ways “of life or society” this is the basis of modern day thinking and legislation.
John O’Brien’s Five Accomplishment had a real impact on the way services for people with learning disabilities have been developed and delivered and indeed changed the thinking of many.
Papers such as Valuing People ( “New Strategy for Learning Disability for the 21st Century”) and
The Supporting People programme (2003) very much follow these accomplishments.
The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 also had an impact by making all public buildings being made accessible to disabled people. The Equality Act 2010 and the United Nations (UN)
Convention on disability rights help to enforce, protect and promote the rights of people with a disability. My organisations ethos has always been that everyone should have the same rights and civil liberties, access to everyday living
