Often, younger disabled people require support that is more flexible, or of a different type than that which social service can offer. For example people may require assistance with making decisions concerning work, both paid and voluntary, or in parenting. This research briefing reports on a study which aimed to see whether these areas of assistance could be incorporated into assessments and reviews. In the study these areas were named 'outcomes', which meant goals that service users wished to achieve. The researchers synthesised findings from previous work with disabled service users into the outcomes framework. This was incorporated into assessment and review practices and used by a multi-disciplinary team of professionals from one Social Services Department in England. The researchers then evaluated the processes of change and their impact on professionals and service users. The majority of staff from all professional groups found the outcome-focused approach and documents to be useful, workable and an improvement on the original system. Most believed that the outcomes approach and documents were applicable and appropriate to their work and suited their professional role.

This report presents a range of statistics on people with a disability or long-term illness. It compares their social and economic circumstances with those of other people. About 1 in 3 people report having a long-term illness which affects their daily lives. Just over 1 in 5 people of working age have a limiting long-term illness. 1 in 4 people with a long-term illness have mental health problems. People with a disability are nearly twice as likely to have no qualifications as other people. People with a disability or long-term illness are more than twice as likely to be economically inactive (neither in work nor looking for it) than other people. The income of people with a disability or long-term illness is lower than that of other people. Working people with mental health problems are less likely to have a permanent job than people with other health problems. 1 in 3 renovation grants (about £30 million a year) were for facilities for disabled people. Numbers of vehicle disabled parking badges issued have doubled during the 1990s.
