It has focused on the lives of former residents of Kew Residential Services (KRS) as they have moved from that institution into brand-new, purpose-built group homes. This report considers issues raised by a specific project concerned with implementing person-centred active support in a group home for five men with profound intellectual disabilities." - INTRODUCTION AND CONTEXT
