Work on the Strategy will include full engagement with people with learning disabilities (children and adults), parents, carers, providers and key stakeholders. The work is now underway and a co-production programme has been developed to enable people with learning disabilities to be fully involved in and to support the Learning Disability Strategy. The Strategy will focus on improving access to universal services and reduce reliance on statutory health and social care services except where necessary. The promotion of education, training, paid employment, independent living, meaningful relationships and maintaining good health will all be part of the Strategy. A range of facilitated and inclusive focus groups and meetings are currently taking place with established groups and organisations which provide services for people with learning disabilities. An easy read questionnaire is being circulated widely and everyone is encouraged to respond. It’s important to get the views of as many people as possible. Bromley Third Sector Enterprise is overseeing the consultation work for the long term Strategy. The Strategy will be available later in the year and we hope that it will lead to meaningful lives for people with learning disabilities. 4 Our round-up of local and NEWS national disability news CORNER and developments Volunteer Needed Sports Sector ‘Needs to do more’ Do you have a few hours a week to spare? New research, from our Get Yourself Active We are looking for a volunteer to support our Project shows that the sports sector could play Bromley Well telephone call service which a key role in getting disabled people more supports people with a physical disability active – but that it needs to improve awareness and people with a learning disability, who and access to facilities and services. More here may fall into isolation. You will be able to work from home, hours are flexible and full training will be given. To find out more information please contact Sue Fuller on 020
