Valuing People: A New Strategy for Learning Disability for the 21st Century   

Valuing People sets out the Government’s proposals for improving the lives of people with learning disabilities and their families and carers.

It is based on recognition of their rights as citizens, social inclusion in local communities, choice in their daily lives and real opportunities to be independent.

The Derbyshire Learning Disability Partnership Board organised on behalf of the Chief Executive of Derbyshire County Council co-ordinates the implementation of the objectives of Valuing People.
