Learning Disability

Select Support Partnerships believe that people with a Learning Disability have the same right as other members of the community to services that support a high quality of life. Embracing a social model of inclusion and integration, Select Support Partnerships supports service users to have a choice over their daily lives, and have a real chance to maximise their independence.

We support people who may have been in hospital for long periods of time, including those who are (or have been) part of the Transforming Care agenda.

Fundamental to our approach is partnership working, with the service user at the centre of the decision making process. A person centred approach is applied to all work carried out with service users, empowering them to play an active role in their communities, promoting self responsibility and enabling them to realise their potential.

We see engaging with and respecting individuals as key to our success.  We are committed to providing and developing services, which meet the needs of the diverse communities in which we work, and as an organisation we celebrate diversity.

We work with the service user to provide a non-discriminatory flexible service, which will meet their cultural, spiritual, social and health needs.

We believe the starting point of any support, is a comprehensive assessment and the development of a Person Centred Plan. To empower service users; we undertake effective mechanisms of communicating/listening to them, and understanding what is important to them. By providing individualised Person Centred Support, Select Support Partnerships can meet individual needs and respond to the changing needs of service users.
