Disability Services

Disability Services brings together the Residential Units and Day Services for people with a learning disability, provided by Staffordshire County Council's Social Care and Health Directorate.

Our Service

The disability service is managed in eight districts throughout the county and is currently subject to our "Changing Lives" policy. Any comments or suggestions regarding the service from users, carers or members of the public are welcome.

The "Valuing People" Government White Paper

The Government's 2001 White Paper about better life chances for people with a learning disability, called "Valuing People", emphasised four key themes of Rights, Independence, Choice and Inclusion. All disability services work to include these principles in their service delivery and promote a person centred approach to care.

The White Paper calls for the modernisation of traditional day services. A modernisation strategy for day services has been implemented within Staffordshire, and a modernisation co-ordinator is in post.
