Call for views on learning disabilities framework
BBCPeople with learning disabilities in Guernsey are being asked for their views about a draft plan to ensure they enjoy the "best possible quality of life".
The draft learning disability framework focuses on access to essential services, including health, education, and housing as well as support for their family and informal carers.
The government will also set up a Learning Disability Partnership Board to provide strategic oversight for key projects.
Board members will include people with a learning disability, carers, and key organisations, including government and voluntary organisations and community groups.
The draft framework was drawn up by Guernsey's Adult Disability Services, drawing on feedback from people with learning disabilities and their families as well as service reviews.
'Amplifying the voices'
It includes work to be completed over three years, including collecting data about health inequalities for people with learning disabilities, assessing their housing needs and involving them in staff recruitment.
Sian Ogier, associate director for Specialist Mental Health and Adult Disability Services, said "amplifying the voices" of people with learning disabilities was central to the framework's vision.
The closing date for feedback is Friday 4 April.
People who would like to comment on the framework should contact Adult Disability Services on 01481 224010 or [email protected].
Children and adults who are currently using the services will be given support to provide their feedback, if they wish.
