Care Matters Wales believe that vulnerable people :
* are full citizens equal in status and value to other citizens of
the same age
* have an equal right to expect a high quality of life – in practice this means having exactly
the same expectations of decent health, education, housing, safety and financial security, protection from harm, positive
social relations and roles within family and community, employment opportunities, personal development, emotional well-being
and civic rights;
* have a right to decide for themselves and to join in all decision making which
affects their lives, with support if necessary;
* have access to the support of their families and the
communities, of which they are a part, and to general and specialist public services to improve their chosen quality of life.
(Based
on the LDAG Report to the National Assembly for Wales, 2001 and the principles first expressed in the All Wales Strategy,
and later confirmed in ‘Fulfilling the Promises')
