Where Partnership Boards come from
|
The Government wrote 'Valuing People' in 2001. It set out the Government's plans to make good changes in the lives of people with learning disabilities and their families. It also said that every Local Authority (Council) should set up a Partnership Board to make this happen.

Six years on in 2009, the Government published 'Valuing People Now, A new 3-year strategy for people with learning disabilities: Making it happen for everyone'. This set out the next steps for Partnership Boards in making Valuing People happen. You can read Valuing People Now by: Clicking HERE for the easy read version, Clicking HERE for the full version. |

The Partnership Board works to make sure that people with learning disabilities have the same opportunities and responsibilities as everyone else, and are treated with the same dignity and respect. We believe that people with learning disabilities and their families are entitled to the same aspirations and life chances as other members of the community. |
