""The report is marvellous, a powerful tool for parents, commissioners, health and care managers for working through transitions. The consistency of values, approach, systematic thinking, use of examples is just what's needed."" Kate Sainsbury, Family Carer ""We believe everyone has the right to make meaningful choices around where they live, who (if anyone) lives with them and to make choices around how their support is organised and directed. Too many people with a learning disability and/or on the autistic spectrum still don't have these rights and are 'placed' in institutional settings and often away from their home area. This guide describes approaches and resources that provide a way forward both person-centred and person-led."" New Routes Home ""We do not agree with institutions, once citizens go into these places it is really difficult to get out again. We are human beings, citizens of Scotland, and we have the right to receive and be assessed for support and (if we are unwell in any way) treatment in our communities."" People First
