People could join one of the many initiatives to enable them to be fully involved in their care and support, monitor quality and safety of the service and drive improvement. Examples included the ‘Learn to Lead’ initiative, quality audit reviewer and the road safety video people had produced.

The emphasis of support was towards enabling people and this led to people feeling fulfilled and leading an active life.”
