Shaping services and policy development: the Leadership Framework
An aim of the Scottish Government’s Towards Transformation Plan in 2021 was to be better at empowering people with a learning disability and autistic people to shape services and policy development.
The Leadership Framework was developed as a way to explore doing things differently at a national government level.
Lived experience groups worked together to decide how to improve policies and practices that directly affect their lives. These groups designed resources to help improve how health practitioners support and understand autistic people and people with learning disabilities.
The Leadership Framework website gives a background to the work and showcases some of the tools used throughout the process. These resources can be adapted for anyone doing participation work with people with a learning disability and autistic people.
