The same as you? review of services for people with learning disabilities was published in 2000. It set out a 10-year programme of change that would support children and adults with learning disabilities and Autism Spectrum Disorders (including Asperger’s Syndrome) to lead full lives, giving them choice about where they live and what they do. People with learning disabilities and family carers were involved at all stages of the review and their experience of life with learning disabilities shaped the vision for the future. Day services have played an important role for people with learning disabilities and their family carers. The same as you? (SAY) recognises the importance of these services but also recognises that people were not getting opportunities to express what they wanted to do, many spent years attending a day centre without ever being formally assessed. This is the report of the sub group set up to look at day care services.

A National Implementation Group was set up in 2001 to assist with the implementation of The same as you?. The Scottish Executive believed that the involvement of people with learning disabilities and family carers in implementing the findings of the review was just as important as it had been in carrying out the review. Members include 5 people with learning disabilities and 2 family carers. The group identified a number of priority areas that would be the main drivers for delivering the change programme. Advocacy was one of these. When The same as you? was published it said not enough people were getting advocacy. A short life working group was set up to look at progress with the development of advocacy for people with learning disabilities and autism spectrum disorders in Scotland. This is the report of that group.
