The Keeping Safe Talking Mat Resource
The Keeping Safe Talking Mats resource is a visual framework that has been developed and trialled over 3 years. It provides:
- A listening space for people with learning disability to raise concerns
- A structure for staff to find out what people are thinking about their lives, and raise issues that can be difficult to discuss.
We have produced a poster that describes the development of the resource and where we have got to . Please click here to view CM poster 20150825
The Scottish government learning disability strategy keys to life has 4 strategic outcomes for people with learning disability in 2015-2017
- A health life
- Choice and control
- Independence
- Active Citzenship
Using the Keeping safe resource allows people to think about , reflect on and have their say in these areas. We have loved training staff working in learning disability across Scotland to use it. The feedback on how it is being used is very powerful, so watch out for more blogs that will show how it has helped people with a learning disability have a say in changing and determining their lives.
