Turning Point Scotland supports service users with learning disabilities across Scotland accordingly to individual service users needs.
Learning disabilities affect about 15 percent of the population, and can have a profound impact on individuals and families.
Our main aim is to work in a person centred way with adults who have a learning/physical disability. We do this by:
- Providing varying levels of support to individuals living in their own homes depending on their own requirements.
- Working in a person centred way to deliver a high quality service to all individuals
- Supporting people to become involved in employment initiatives
- Providing a Management structure and Administration team which enables us to monitor closely the service we provide
- Ensuring Staff attend the required training to deliver a quality service
People with learning disabilities are one of the most vulnerable groups in society, and The Scottish Government is committed to policies which place emphasis on delivering person-centred services and aims to develop a framework for better social and health care services for people with learning disabilities, including those with Autism Spectrum Disorders in Scotland.
The Scottish Government is implementing the recommendation of The Same as you? (SAY) (PDF) review for services for people with learning disabilities.
