They are also encouraged to attend work placements or volunteer at local charity shops and attend courses at the local college as they gain more independence.

Relative - Quote from CQC Inspection Report - May 2018
“My [relative] has friends that visit. They all chip in to get ingredients for a special meal. The carers go that extra mile and make a proper roast dinner with all the trimmings for them. They love their roast; it makes the day special and makes [my relative] happy. Sometimes [my relative] has chosen to stay and have a roast with their friends rather than come to mine for the weekend.”
Relative - Quote from CQC Inspection Report - May 2018

Consensus Colleague - Quote from CQC Inspection Report - May 2018
