Easy Read Summary: Suffolk Joint Learning Disability Strategy Refresh
The Suffolk Joint Learning Disability Strategy was created to make sure we work together in new and different ways to support:
People with learning disabilities live good lives as part of their community, with the right support, at the right time, from the right people.
The Suffolk Joint Learning Disability Strategy was was created a long time ago, so we wanted to find out:
What should stay the same?
What needs to change?
We needed a Suffolk Joint Learning Disability Strategy Refresh to ask these questions.
We co-produced the Suffolk Joint Learning Disability Strategy Refresh with the wider Suffolk Learning Disability Partnership, consisting of family members, self-advocates, provider representatives, Adult Social Care and Health colleagues.
It was agreed that many parts of the strategy are still important.
We came up with four areas everyone agreed we needed to look at:
My Health
To make sure we work together in new and different ways to support people with learning disabilities
My Home
To make sure we work together in new and different ways to support people with learning disabilities
My Life
To make sure we work together in new and different ways to support people with learning disabilities
My Voice
To make sure we work together in new and different ways to support people with learning disabilities
We will have focus groups about these areas.
We will discuss ideas from the focus groups at the Suffolk Learning Disability Partnership Board.
