Learning Disability Partnership Board - West Berkshire
Last updated: 02/04/2024
Big meetings are held for adults with learning disabilities, carers, parents, adult social care, service providers and community support groups.
LDPBs:
- Bring people together to talk about important issues for people with learning disabilities, and their family, friends and carers
- Make sure people who provide services make their services easy to use for people with learning disabilities
- Tell services what people want, and how to improve services
- Keep people up to date with local and national issues affecting people with learning disabilities
- support each other
The LDPB also has two subgroups - a Core group and a Health subgroup
We also have a monthly online Parent and Carers meet-up. This is a friendly supportive group and we have already made positive changes and raised important issues affecting carers to service providers.
