Finlay, W. Mick L.; Antaki, Charles; Walton, Chris – British Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2008
In this paper we argue that video recording of actual practice should be a central tool for organisations attempting to improve services for people with learning disabilities. Since an important site for the disempowerment of service-users is in everyday, mundane interactions with service staff, an approach to staff development is needed which…
