Independence MattersRoom for improvement in social service provision
A Social Services Inspectorate report, published December12th 2003, found that much still needs to be done to create fairer, more consistent services for physically and sensory disabled people.
The report, "Independence Matters", looked at social care services for physically and sensory disabled people aged 16 to 65 in England. It is based on inspections in eight councils and also from other information collected from 150 councils in England.
The report includes examples of what councils are doing well; the questions that councils need to ask themselves to improve their services; and the standards we use to judge services.
