Agenda item

12.1

The Committee considered a report of the Strategic Director for Adult Care and Wellbeing which set out Sheffield’s Learning Disability Strategy - ‘Our Big Plan’. This strategy set the scene for improving the lives of people with a learning disability in the City. It had been developed in partnership with the learning disability community and carers and reflected their priorities for the next 3 years.

It was stated that the strategy would be underpinned by an annually updated delivery plan which would have clear objectives and outcomes, agreed by the Learning Disability Partnership Board. It was stated that it would also be complemented by an Adult Future Options Transformation Programme. This would be a partnership document, and a range of organisations would continue together to deliver the Strategy’s objectives.

-       Approves the Learning Disability Strategy called the Big Plan.
