We Need A New Co-Chair! |
The Learning Disability Partnership Board will be saying a fond farewell to our co-chair, Matthew Hellett, this month. This means we need to elect a new co-chair. If you know any people with learning disabilities who might possibly be interested in taking on the role of co-chair please support them to make contact with Sarah Pickard at Speak Out to get more information. (sarahpickard@bhspeakout.org.uk or (01273) 421921) Everyone who thinks they may be interested in running in the election is invited to attend the Partnership Board meeting on 19th July from 10:00 at Hove Town Hall and to stay afterwards for lunch (we will provide lunch) and a chance to talk about what is involved in being co-chair and how the elections will work. If someone is not able to attend this day we will find another way to get information to them. The actual election will happen at the Big Meeting on the morning of Monday 26th July. All people with learning disabilities in Brighton & Hove are invited to come along to the Big Meeting to vote for their new co-chair. More information about the Big Meeting and the elections will be available soon. |
What is a Learning Disability Partnership Board? |
The government wrote a paper called"Valuing People, a New Strategy For The 21st Century (2001)". That paper told all local authorities to set up learning disability partnership boards. The Partnership Board is a champion for people with learning disabilities. We make sure that people with a learning disability and their family carers are part of everything we do. Valuing People says the Partnership Board should help “people with learning disabilities to do those ordinary things, make use of mainstream services and be fully included in the local community”. |
Valuing People Now - What next? |
|
In 2009 the government wrote another paper. It is called "Valuing People Now". The government gave the Partnership Boards more power and also expects more from us. We have to make a plan for making Valuing People Now happen in our city. Click here to read our Make It Happen plan. |
Partnership Board Meetings: |
We meet on the third Monday morning of every second month. We ask everyone to use easy-to-understand language, without jargon. Click here to read our guidelines for meetings. Members of the public can come to any of the board meetings. We have information sessions in the afternoons, after the meetings. We talk about things of interest to people with learning disabilities. There is a different topic for each information session. Please join us for the information sessions. |
Meetings are from 10:00 to 1:00 at Hove Town Hall in the Banqueting Suite on these dates:
|
How are we doing? |
Once each year the Partnership Board writes a report on the work that we did the year before. Our report is sent to the Regional Programme Board and also to the city's Joint Commissioning Board, which makes sure we have good health and social care services.. Here is our report for this year: Here is our report from last year: |
Who helps us do the work? |
The Partnership Board has other groups of people that help with the work the Partnership Board wants to get done. We call these groups 'sub groups' if they do work for the Partnership Board, or 'Link Groups and Forums (Fora)' if they work with, but not for, the Partnership Board. Each group has its own page on this website. |
Learning Disability Development Fund |
This is money the government gives us to help make Valuing People happen for everyone. We use that money to pay for special projects. Take a look at the sub group pages to learn about the projects that our money supports. Click here to read a summary of last year's projects.
