Learning Disability Partnership Board

About the Learning Disability Partnership Board

The Learning Disability Partnership Board for Herefordshire meets four times a year to discuss the work that is going on to help people with learning disabilities. It also provides a voice for those with disabilities to help design services.

Your feedback from the topics we have discussed so far

Thank you for telling us your views on Changing Places. You can read the results of the Changing Places survey.

You told us about the importance of Changing Places and that there needs to be more and where you would like them to be. The Board is making sure your comments and evidence are available to people that will apply for funding in the future.

We talk about one topic at each meeting. We also publish a report on the feedback from the survey on each topic, with your experiences and views.

The four topics for this year are:

• Being healthy and safe - View the easy-read report on feedback
• What I do during the day - View the easy-read report on feedback
• Where I live - View the easy-read report on feedback
• Having choice and control
