Summary: "The Everyday Decisions project explored how people with intellectual disabilities make everyday decisions in and about their lives, and how care professionals support them in doing so. Our research explored how mental capacity law works in practice to identify areas of good practice and areas where practical changes, shifts in social attitudes or legal reform are needed to secure the rights of disabled people. Our main legal focus has been on the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. We were interested in a wide range of life domains, including everyday choices about food and clothing, life choices like housing, education and employment, and difficult choices like financial, medical and legal decisions. We also explored relationship and friendship choices." - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
