Better Lives

what can make a difference

Scotland in 2020.  A place where people with learning disabilities have friends and relationships. Where they get support to have a family.  Where they have homes of their own. Where they have a say over their lives and their support.  This is our dream.

In this section we will tell you about work to make this happen.

We will include evidence, standards, examples and reports. 

We want to hear from you about topics we think you should include and work that you think has made a difference.

 

Evidence

Evidence is proof that something works.  There are different kinds of evidence including research and people's experience.  When you are looking at evidence you have to find ways to work out how good it is. 

Standards

Standards tell you what to expect from a service.  They help you to judge whether it is good or not.

Examples

Examples show you what others have done and how you could make it happen too.  Sometimes quite small things make a difference!

Reports

Reports will help you find out about something in more detail.  We all know there is a lot of information out there.  Our aim is to make it easy for you to find the useful stuff quickly!
