This timely book asks three vital questions: OCo What do we mean by valuing?OCo How does the process of valuing work?OCo What needs to happen to ensure that we value people with a learning disability?Too often, practitioners tend to say OCyitOCOs all right in theory but not in the real worldOCO. In thisbook, Dr Steve Mee draws on his experience as a practitioner and lecturer on a learning disability nursing course, in which he has successfully used stories to bridge the gap between academic theory and everyday practice.

It invites practitioners to truly reflect on whether they can claim to value the people they support.REVIEWEROCOS COMMENT: OC I feel this is a very important piece of work in an area that is often misunderstood. From reading the authors work, I have questioned my own approach to OCyValuing PeopleOCO and found myself lacking in some areas, even though I was of the opinion that I did truly value people with a learning difficulty.OCO"
