Today marks 10 years since that Cheshire West ruling (and #WorldSocialWorkDay see my post on LinkedIn for more). If I could impart anything I've learned, it's this - if a person can't get up and make some food, at whatever time they choose, maybe ask why? #MCA #DoLS #BurritoTest
If you can't get up at 3 am and microwave yourself a burrito, you are living in an institution. The burrito test is used by disability advocates to find out if a particular facility is an institution.

If you’re acting on behalf of a loved one, as an attorney or a deputy, big occasions like Christmas and Hanukkah can raise some questions. This month, we will be sharing guidance to help you decide what is an appropriate gift.
