People with Learning Disabilities

Our vision is that people with learning disabilities have a good quality of life and are supported to live the lives they want to lead; living locally where they “feel good and well”, where they are valued and included in their communities and have equal access to appropriate support that ensures independence, choice and control.

As a Partnership, we have worked together with people with a learning disability, their families, carers and the third and independent sector to produce a clear direction for the planning and delivery of adult learning disability services across the region.

This strategy describes our shared vision, the core principles that we believe are fundamental to service design and delivery, and the key issues that need to be addressed in the forthcoming years in order to deliver effective, safe and good quality services. This includes ensuring there is sufficient capacity and an appropriate range of provision to meet local need.

This film tells the story of Stacey and Joanna, two inspiring people with a learning disability, who were employed by learning disability services. It highlights the benefits employing people with lived experience can have to both services and individuals.

Our Priorities

We want every child in Cardiff and Vale to have the opportunity to thrive. Our work focuses on children in vulnerable situations and the services that support them.

AGEING WELL

We know how hard it can be to find help when people need it the most. We want to make sure there is community support to help people stay as healthy as possible so they can carry on doing the things that matter most to them.
