Working with self advocates in relation to adults with learning disability
In August 2025 there was the first of several meetings with self-advocates and Halton Speak Out that took place linked to the Adults with Learning Disability (ALD) Strategy and to help inform priorities of ALD Partnership Board. As a result of this:
- The self-advocates’ vision was agreed for inclusion in ALD strategy.
- There was discussion key issues to raise at future ALD Partnership Board meetings and who should be involved in those meetings.
- It was agreed that engaging with self-advocates will take place ahead of each partnership board meeting to ensure that their views are represented at the Board.
In November 2025 key stakeholders from across our Adults’ directorate came together for a workshop about existing projects specifically for Adults with Learning Disability (ALD) services and to celebrate successes so far; The workshop focused on how we can work together to deliver future, impactful transformation activities, as well as continuing to provide good outcomes for people using services and enhanced flexibility and independence. The insights and feedback gathered are now helping to shape a delivery plan for the next steps, keeping positive outcomes for the people we support at the heart of everything we do. In the coming weeks, stakeholders will help refine this plan, and we’ll continue to share updates and invite feedback as we move forward together.
