This report explores the housing careers and aspirations of disabled young people in Scotland, based on interviews with 30 people with learning disabilities and physical disability. It starts by reviewing what is known about the housing careers of young people in the general population, noting that the impact of disability is rarely considered in general studies who distinguish by categories such as gender, ethnicity, educational attainment and family income. Five groups of young people are identified: those satisfied and dissatisfied with living in the parental home, those who left for education, those who left in crisis, and those who left in a planned way for reasons other than education. It is found that moving out of the family home is viewed as a symbol of adulthood and as being about independence and choice. There is an overwhelming reliance on the social rented sector to enable young people to move away from the parental home, and disabled young people do not appear to be accessing specialist housing advice which could widen their options. The paper concludes by suggesting that there is a need for housing education to enable young people to form realistic aspirations and, if they choose to leave the family home, access the most appropriate housing. Introduction There is no sharp distinction between childhood and adulthood.

Reports on research exploring the housing experiences and aspirations of young disabled people in Scotland. Thirty disabled people aged 18 to 34 were interviewed. Twenty-one lived with parents and nine independently. Interviewees were asked about their current housing situation, housing career and future housing aspirations. Results found that those who leave the family home in crisis experience several housing moves before settling; those who leave in a planned way tend to stay in their first home. Young people aspiring to leave the parental home are limited to a social housing tenancy, due to their economic circumstances and a lack of knowledge of other choices. Concludes that social care professionals need to pay closer attention to assessing housing aspirations and helping young people consider all options. The research was carried out by the Nuffield Centre for Community Care Studies Glasgow and funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.

This report examines three housing estates which have long-established problem reputations but which have experienced substantial regeneration. The authors of this report argue that, unless a housing estate’s image problems are effectively challenged alongside regeneration, stigma will remain. The report provides detailed evidence of the perceptions of estate residents, residents of neighbouring areas and local stakeholders such as regeneration partners, employers, journalists and estate agents. It: discusses the impact of stigma on residents’ lives; identifies key players responsible for negative estate images; suggests key factors for positively managing images; and provides good practice suggestions for ‘image management’. The report is looks for solutions to estates’ image problems as a means of ensuring that the improvements made by regeneration processes are concrete and long-lasting. The researchers conclude that image management should be a central component of regeneration packages.

Neighbourhood regeneration initiatives in stigmatised estates have tended not to address the problem of stigma directly, but largely assume that an estate's reputation will improve as material conditions on the estate improved. This article demonstrates how stigma has persisted for three estates despite the incorporation of communication, marketing and media advocacy activities into the work of the regeneration initiatives. Outlines the methodology of research conducted in three stigmatised estates in the UK (in North Tyneside, Edinburgh and Birmingham). The study aimed to discover whether the problem reputations were being challenged by the regeneration programmes underway. The views of residents and potential residents were explored through focus groups. The article concludes with ideas on how regeneration practice can begin to deal effectively with the problem of stigma.

A range of measures have been introduced at both local and national level in order to tackle child poverty. In Scotland, many of these initiatives are located in and funded through the Social Inclusion Partnerships (SIPs) set up by the Scottish Executive. SIPs are multiagency partnership bodies made up of representatives from the statutory sector the voluntary sector, community representatives, and the private sector. Their task is to co-ordinate activities to promote social inclusion, prevent social exclusion, and fund local projects that fit local priorities.
