East Dunbartonshire Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) is now consulting on a new Learning Disability Strategy 2024-2029.  The consultation period will run until 14 December 2023.

We have prepared a Learning Disability Strategy Consultation Paper, setting out what we believe to be the key priorities for the next five years (2024-2029). The proposed priorities are based on national and local policy requirements and analysis of the views and circumstances of people with lived experience of learning disability, locally and nationally.

We now want to hear your views on the new Strategy.  Do you think the suggested priorities are the right ones or are there other areas that you believe are more important?

Quite soon we will have to settle on what our Learning Disability Strategy priorities are and then do more work to build the plan around these.  So, this is your opportunity to influence the foundations of the plan that will take forward the work to support people with a learning disability over the next five years.

How to get involved
There will be a number of virtual and face to face meetings held during September - December 2023.  In addition, we have set up a survey online and this can be accessed via the link below.  There is also the option of completing a printed questionnaire.  All survey results can be completed anonymously if preferred.

The deadline for response is 14th December 2023.

We are also very happy to receive your thoughts in an email if you prefer, to: Gayle.Paterson@eastdunbarton.gov.uk
