This group works with professionals to help them understand how best to communicate with someone with a learning disability. This might include things like helping with easy read documents such as surveys, and reviewing policies.
We also produce our own newsletter as well as making films about things that are important to us.
Voices For All
Voices For All meeting June 2022
Voices For All is the Lincolnshire Learning Disability Partnership quarterly meeting.
Every three months people with a learning disability and professionals meet and work together to make sure people have a say about council and health services.
It promotes people with a learning disability having a voice and includes everyone in planning services.
Information is shared about what is going on around Lincolnshire and how people can get involved.
The meeting is chaired by the Speak Out Leaders and has different themes such as how to keep healthy or safe or help to find a job. It is somewhere people are asked to share their views and give feedback on services.
