In this report disabled people said it was important to set themselves goals and experience achieving them. Achieving things through their jobs, they said, encouraged them to set goals outside work, like learning to travel independently or to drive. Going to work gave disabled people the chance to meet new people and make friends. This was especially important to people with learning disabilities who complained of feeling bored when ‘stuck at home’. The routine of work was important to people with mental health conditions. They said it offered a distraction from their condition and gave them a sense of an ‘ordinary life’. Disabled people said that having a job was a sign of ‘wellness’ and getting on with life.

Disabled children have broadly the same aspirations as non-disabled children and the outcomes they would like to achieve are therefore similar. However, for many disabled children and young people, there are fundamental outcomes that need to be achieved as a foundation for others, including and especially, communication. This project focused on better understanding ‘outcome models’ for all children and young people and for children and young people in the diverse and challenging context of disability. This research was commissioned by the Scottish Government’s Children’s Rights and Wellbeing Division to identify and develop an outcomes model based on Getting It Right for Every Child (GIRFEC), and the SHANARRI indicators of wellbeing (“Safe, Healthy, Achieving, Nurtured, Active, Respected, Responsible, Included”) for disabled children and young people in Scotland. It was to include both children with disabilities as defined by the Equality Act 2010 and those defined as having additional support needs in the context of the Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act 2004. The project was modified early on to focus on mapping outcomes work that is already in progress, and to identify the essential components of outcomes models. (Edited publisher abstract)

This AIE document evaluates the impact of the Government’s mental health outcomes strategy, and attempts to anticipate and recommend ways to avoid any discriminatory or negative consequences for particular groups, on the grounds of: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation. The document covers each of the six objectives of the mental health outcomes strategy and provides an analysis of the impact on equality for each specific group. The six objectives of the mental health outcomes strategy are: more people will have good mental health; more people with mental health problems will recover; more people with mental health problems will have good physical health; more people will have a positive experience of care and support; fewer people will suffer avoidable harm; and fewer people will experience stigma and discrimination.
