Social Firms UK’sresponse to The Department Of Health’s consultation “Valuing people now” and its proposals for the learning disability agenda for 2008 – 2011 (March 2008)

Department of Health has put forward it priorities as personalisation; what people do during the day (with a focus on paid work); better health; housing that people want and need; and making sure change happens. Social Firms UK has highlighted how the Social Firm model fulfils their aspirations for paid work for people with a learning disability. We call on the Government to give greater recognition to Social Firms and support the growth of the sector.
