Report to the

National Forum of People with Learning

Disabilities
Region:
Date:

7th

London
and 8th June

What do you want us to tell the

Learning Disability
Programme Board about?
What is going well?

Robert has been elected at the rep for the London

Region.
Maria is the assistant rep so she will co chair our
meetings in London. She will come to the National
Forum if I cannot make it.
We had a postal vote so that as many people as
possible could vote. All the candidates put a film on the
internet to show their skills and help people decide who
to vote for.
I am looking forward to doing the job.

What are your 3 big issues?

I am new to the job. I was elected on the 18th May. But I

think the 3 big issues are:
1.Rules for Personal Assistants at the last
London Regional Forum meeting, in March, we
looked at some rules for PAs and everyone said
what they thought of them. Me, Maria and Carrie
Ann are going to look at what everyone said and
write some new easy read rules.
2.Transforming Care Plans at the London Forum
meeting in March we asked who had seen the plan
for their area. Reps from only 1 borough had seen
the plan. This is not Co Production (not working
together).
3.Transforming Care Event we held an event on
the 19th May to talk about Transforming Care. It
was a joint event for people with a learning
disability from London and the South East and
family carers from London and the South East.
Carrie Ann and Tina co chaired. The event went
well. The report will be ready soon.
