Synopsis

This report is based on an action research project, which demonstrates and evaluates the application of community development methods to the implementation of community care. The report focuses on two different communities in Scotland. The first, in South Lanarkshire, was chosen in an attempt to place physically disabled people central to the development of a council wide strategy for planning more responsive and appropriate services. The second, in Glasgow, addressed the needs of ethnic minority and black carers in relation to the planning and delivery of culturally sensitive services. This report considers the existing participation structure for service users from both communities and outlines the common lessons learned from the project as a whole.
