Triangle is in the process of bringing people together to develop a version of the Outcomes Star for people with learning disabilities. If anyone is interested please contact Joy MacKeith at joy@triangleconsulting.co.uk
I'd be interested further in this, have there been any developments? I would also be interested in hearing about any developments within a forensic setting.
I am a social work student and a mum to children with disabilities. i would like to hear more about the disabilities star. I have already introduced the Teen star into a young people's charity i work with and because it is a visual tool it works really well. Much better than a basic assessment form asking lots of personal questions.
A good way to keep abreast of news on the Learning Disability Star, and all Star news, would be to sign up to the Outcomes Star newsletter here: http://www.outcomesstar.org.uk/signup/
I'd be interested further in this project and development of outcome star for learning disability patients,and the star may need to cover areas like mild LD with or without challenging behaviour.
In theory a change in government will be beneficial to social enterprises as the ‘Big Society’ plans to offer more opportunities that weren’t available in the previous administration. Hopefully this will encourage people to start new social enterprises and a new wave of entrepreneurs will step up the stage. I only hope the new government follows through on their word and gives 100% backing, because if they do then the next 5 years has the potential to be very exciting. fingers crossed
