Have your say on our new adult learning disability strategy
It's estimated that there are around 5000 working age adults with a learning disability in Brighton & Hove, and this is expected to rise.
We've worked with people with learning disabilities, their carers and families as well as the NHS, key local services and providers to put together a plan for the next five years.
'The Big Plan' 2021-2026
This city-wide strategy aims to make sure adults with learning disabilities and their families get the advice, support and services they need and want.
The strategy sets out the aims of our six key priorities and the actions we plan to take around:
- relationships, friendships and feeling safe
- health and mental health
- activities work and learning
- housing and support
- transitions
- information and advice
The new strategy will be steered by the Adult Learning Disability Partnership Board.
Have your say on the strategy
We want to find out what is most important to adults with learning disabilities, their families and the learning disability community.
Please tell us what you think of our five year plan for services for adults with learning disabilities in Brighton & Hove.
The consultation will run until Sunday 16 May 2021.
We hope that you find our strategy ambitious and aspirational, and that it reflects our aim to achieve the best outcomes for adults with learning disabilities in the city.
