Developments in the independent living movement have tended, historically, to exclude people with learning difficulties. Access to Direct Payments and other benefits designed for disabled people is also problematic as people with learning difficulties are perceived as unable to make choices or take control of their own lives. This study looks at examples of people who now live independent lives via independent living trusts. It begins with the people and their stories and goes on to look at: what independent living trusts are; when they are useful; who can get involved; how an independent living trust is set up; and how an independent living trust is set up. Also includes a sample trust deed.
