Home From Home Care’s Executive Chairman, Paul de Savary, will be sharing his insights at the Learning Disabilities: Challenges and CHOICES in Care and Accommodation conference next month.
The event forms part of the ‘OUR LIFE, OUR CHOICE’ campaign – fighting for people with learning disabilities and/or autism to have the right to choose where they live.
Currently, the CQC in its statutory guidance explicitly denies a choice of living in new group or village communities and places unachievable requirements on existing communities. This has caused the closure of group and village communities, equating them to ‘campuses’, regardless of the quality of care provided.
Taking place on 3rd April at Woburn House Conference Centre, London, the conference aims to help families, service users and professionals to navigate the law, the frameworks, the CHOICE and the Care Quality Commission relating to care and accommodation.
Paul will be joining a panel of families sharing their first-hand experience about life in residential community settings for individuals with learning and physical disabilities. Insights will include the extent of positive social interaction within these communities, the relationships with the wider community, and the overall quality of life for individuals.
The event promises to be an insightful and inspiring day, with an opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions and collaborate on actionable steps – to create a care system that prioritises equity, quality, and true choice for individuals with learning disabilities.
