Deafblind Guidance
In March 2001, the Government issued statutory guidance about services for deafblind people and circulated it to Local Authorities with a Local Authority Circular document. A ‘quantum leap in deafblind services’ was how Sense’s magazine, Talking Sense, described the issuing of the guidance. The guidance was introduced as a direct result of pressure by a Sense campaign which called for a commitment to getting the right support for deafblind people enshrined in law.

Famous quotes containing the word guidance:
“Even healthy families need outside sources of moral guidance to keep those tensions from imploding—and this means, among other things, a public philosophy of gender equality and concern for child welfare. When instead the larger culture aggrandizes wife beaters, degrades women or nods approvingly at child slappers, the family gets a little more dangerous for everyone, and so, inevitably, does the larger world.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (20th century)
