The evaluation of such training programmes is problematic. Mansell (1989) has noted that assessing \"whether training, or any other kind of innovation, has any effect in complex organizations is difficult and is, therefore, rarely attempted\" (p. 142). Evaluations of such training programmes have measured various outcomes including attitude change (Rose and Holmes, 1991), self-ratings (Mansell, 1989) and evidence of changes in practice (e.g. the number of staffed housing schemes developed after training: Mansell, 1989). The present study attempted to evaluate the effects of a training package for staff employed by an independent agency Community Care (a pseudonym) which was to take responsibility for accommodating over a hundred people with learning disabilities following the retraction of Willowfield (a pseudonym), a hospital, in March 1991.","PeriodicalId":411791,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Developmental Disabilities","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125531763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A number of authors have proposed models for conceptualising quality. In a recent review Felce and Perry (1995) portrayed quality as being represented by five domains: 1. Physical Well-being: this subsumes health, fitness and physical safety. 2. Material Well-being: this includes, finance or income, quality of the living environment and privacy, possessions, meals or food, transport, neighbourhood, security, and stability or tenure. 3. Social Wellbeing: this comprises two major dimensions of a) the quality and breadth of interpersonal relationships and b) community activities and the level of community acceptance and support. 4. Development and Activity: is concerned with the possession and use of skills in relation both to self determination and the pursuit of functional activities such as work or leisure. 5. Emotional Well-being: including, affect or mood, satisfaction, self esteem and religious faith. The model is suggested as a framework for organising the measurement of the quality of life concept.","PeriodicalId":411791,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Developmental Disabilities","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121786917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
