Prior to the launch of Valuing People (DH, 2001), Gordon Grant and Paul Ramcharan were appointed by the Department of Health as co-ordinators of the Learning Disability Research Initiative (LDRI). The LDRI was a £2m research initiative, funded through the Department of Health's Policy Research Programme, linked to the implementation of Valuing People. The LDRI was brought to a conclusion in November 2007. This paper summarises the main findings of the LDRI and includes a listing of the resultant 13 studies. Reference is made to Valuing People's main principles of rights, choice, inclusion and independence. The authors conclude by suggesting priorities for extending the evidence base.
