The Seven Priorities we intend to focus on to improve the lives of people with a learning disability in Lewisham are:
Priority 1: A Good Place To Live -
People with a learning disability want to choose where they live and who they live with.
Priority 2: Health & Wellbeing -
People with a learning disability want to be able to get the healthcare they need to live longer, healthier lives.
Priority 3: A Life With Opportunities -
People with a learning disability want to take part in their communities, try new things and get a job.
Priority 4: Support For Family Carers-
We need to listen to families and unpaid carers and learn more about the support they need to feel valued in their caring role.
Priority 5: Managing Risks & Staying Safe -
People with a learning disability need support to understand risks and to stay safe, when they are living their lives.
Priority 6: A Sustainable Workforce -
People with a learning disability need the people who support them to have the right attitudes, skills and training. We need to help more people become good support workers.
Priority 7: Developing the Local Market -
We need to make sure that local support providers focus on giving people with a learning disability and their families the types of support they need, both now and in the future.
Please tell us if you agree with the Seven Priorities that are the focus of the Learning Disabilities Implementation Plan?
