Lewisham Learning Disability Implementation Plan Consultation

Page 1 of 4

Closes 24 Oct 2023

Introduction

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.
