How are friendships linked to participation within community activities? Are young disabled people at risk of social isolation – what contributes to isolation and what can relieve it?

The project is coproduced in partnership with C.A.R.P. Collaborations and the Building Bridges Project.

Does it matter? Decision-making by people with learning disabilities

• 0 comments

 

This project is about people with learning disabilities in Scotland.  In particular, it is about those who are judged to lack capacity, and who have someone substituted for them in decision making, despite having an ability to make some decisions.  The project explores how supported decision making can be designed to replace substitute decision making.  This introduces the idea of autonomous decision making in line with a human rights approach.
