People with learning disabilities

There is a group of self advocate trainers who are developing training and support for people to lead their own plans.

The group is called 'Listen to me North West'

Hands off My Plan! has a great new website, designed, planned and run by people with learning disabilities. Here is the flier that discusses this in detail.

L'Arche Foundation in Poland, a Christian Community created to support people with learning difficulties, has launched a new initiative to develop Supported Employment Centre within existing Therapy Workshop premises. The first step to establish the Centre was to train staff in the areas of Vocational Counselling and Supported Employment. Training was open for other local and regional organisations that work for people with learning difficulties. Training was attended by 24 persons representing 5 organisations.

Pathfinders

A self advocacy group based in California, USA, made a trip to the UK in July to present on self advocates leading planning in Gwynedd, the North West and in Wigan. Click here to see their photos from their trip on their own website.
