This toolkit is for disabled people: As a disabled person you might find that a public authority you have contact with does not have a DES in place, or if it does it may not be meeting its other specific duties under the legislation, or it just isn’t meeting one or more elements of the general duty to promote disability equality. If you think that a public authority is not meeting its duties and you want to find out more information from them this toolkit can help. The toolkit is a series of standard letters which disabled people can use to ask further questions of public authorities they have an interest in. Copies should be kept of all correspondence.

In order to support agencies to monitor and further develop services for people whose behaviour poses challenges to services, the Learning Disability Implementation Advisory Group (LDIAG) has produced a Self-Assessment Checklist. This is a tool intended for use by commissioners and providers from health and social services to establish what is in place and working well for people with learning disabilities and challenging behaviour in local areas. Ideally, the self-assessment should be based on a process that involves key stakeholder services, users and carers. The checklist can be used as a first step towards service improvement and development and afterwards at regular intervals to track developments, celebrate achievements and maintain progress towards better services and support for people with challenging behaviour.
