Consultation sessions for family carers of people with learning disabilities.

Telford & Wrekin Council, along with the Learning Disability Partnership and all the member organisations, are determined to do everything they can to make sure that all people with learning disability in Telford and Wrekin live well and enjoy a full life, with as much independence as possible.

They are proud that there is good support for people in Telford and Wrekin, but know there are many things that could be better so want to make these improvements over the next four years. They have limited resources and cannot do everything at once but the draft Learning Disability Strategy (2021 – 2025) sets out the most important things and they will focus on these.

Telford & Wrekin Council want to hear from adults with learning disabilities, families, carers and staff who care for, or work with them. This will enable them to finalise the Strategy and help us enable people with learning disabilities to live well in Telford and Wrekin. 

This consultation has been extended until the 7 May 2021 at 5pm.
