Day services give people a chance to do something constructive, meet with others and regain confidence in their abilities. Mencap welcomes the initiatives in Valuing People and believes that change is needed if day services are to do more than provide care and something to do during the daytime hours. However, it is critical that existing services, including day centres, are not withdrawn before robust, working alternatives are fully in place. Modernisation must not result in reduced services for individuals or a reduction in the funding of day services.
