Learning Disability

Learning Disability Carer Representatives

We are proud to partner with the Learning Disability Partnership Board to raise awareness around Learning Disabilities in Worcestershire, working closely with expert members, providers and other professionals.

Together we run the Learning Disability Strategy, which aims to better the outcomes for individuals with Learning Disabilities and their families. This is underpinned by seven aims:

  • Staying Healthy
  • Living Well
  • Having a Place to Live
  • Having a Job
  • Staying Safe
  • The Right Support for Carers
  • Preparing for Adulthood

Are you a carer interested in sharing your knowledge and experience?  Our aim is to have carer representative on all seven groups in order to promote the carer’s voice and ensure we continue to make a difference.

If you are interested in becoming a carer rep and would like more information, please contact our Carer Engagement & involvement Lead Jenny Hewitt: [email protected]
