Achieving Positive Change in People's Lives Through the National Learning Disabilities Strategy: Lessons from an American ExperienceTizard Learning Disability Review, 5
Valuing People, the English national strategy launched in 2001 is founded on the twin principles of self‐determination and social inclusion. It promotes a vision of people with intellectual disabilities in the mainstream of life. To achieve this goal, it seeks to integrate a wide variety of elements, in which person‐centred planning (PCP) is one. The Mansell and Beadle‐Brown review makes many interesting points about PCP in this context. We reframe their critique in three main ways: by more fully recognising the extent to which PCP is an intrinsic element of the national strategy, helping to operationalise its core principles; by crediting the ways in which individual planning and action are intended to become part of one continuous process; and by showing how the strategy addresses the challenge of scale by prioritising quality rather than quantity in implementing PCP, with the aspiration of creating a virtuous spiral of positive change.
