Background to the Learning Disability Care Forum
The Learning Disability Care Forum (LCDF) was established in 2014 to work with the council to improve learning disability services in North Tyneside.
Over the years, the Forum has worked on a wide range of activities including care support processes, housing and supported living, care quality monitoring, respite for carers and an engagement and communication standard.
In addition to working together on specific issues, carers have found the Forum to be a valuable source of peer support and experience sharing. The Forum has developed positive working relationships with carers and the council in order to do the best for people with a learning disability.
You can download the agenda and minutes of LDCF meetings below. Forum attendees will be sent additional papers before the meeting. If you would like to receive any of the papers listed on the agenda please email florence.mcgregor@northtyneside.gov.uk
Parent Carer Forum
This forum is a group of parents and carers of children, young people and adults aged 0-25 who have special educational needs or disabilities who live in North Tyneside. They aim to support parents and carers in our community enabling them to access services and give them a voice in shaping and developing these services.
They work with relevant providers on a strategic level to help improve services available to families. They also work closely with the local authority, health and social care and with the local SENDIASS team as well as other agencies.
