What is the Learning Disability Partnership Board?

In 2001, the Government wrote a report called 'Valuing People'.

It told us what we should be doing to make things better for people with learning disabilities and their families.

The Learning Disability Partnership Board was set up to make sure that lots of different people, organisations and agencies work together to make sure change is happening for people with Learning Disabilities in Tameside.

The Partnership Board meet together to make decisions about:

• Where and how to spend money
• Making new staff posts and jobs
• Plans for changing services
• The buildings that we use
• Making sure services are good enough to meet peoples' needs.

'Valuing People' sets out a timetable, like a plan, for things that need to happen over the next few years.

Valuing People now 2008 sets out 4 priority areas:

• Personalisation
• What to do in the day
• Health
• Housing
