Information

We aim to keep parent/carers informed of local and national issues that affect them.

We do this in a variety of ways:

• Regular Newsletters - find these on our website or join our mailing list to be emailed our newsletters when we publish them

 

• We hold social gatherings in relaxed settings, where unpaid carers meet and share ideas, coping strategies and overcome isolation

 

• We share information via social media on our Instagram account and Facebook page

 

• We organise and deliver training or information sessions covering a wider range of topics including welfare benefits, using social media and relationships.

 

• Our annual Understanding Disability Awards event, that celebrates the inclusion of people with a learning disability into ordinary life

  

• Our guide to support services called "Where you Stand"

 

• We discuss issues with families, gather their views and present the views of parents at many planning meetings and in consultations
