Abstract

It is now time for people with learning disabilities to become fully involved in community care planning at all levels. This paper highlights some possible reasons (and excuses!) why people have not been accepted as full and equal members of groups serving the planning and commissioning processes. It examines the issues and difficulties around enabling people to become full members and suggests strategies, interventions and good practice guidelines for overcoming those difficulties. Finally, it argues that people with learning disabilities should be key players in the planning of services that directly affect them.
