12.1

The Committee considered a report of the
Strategic Director for Adult Care and Wellbeing which set out
Sheffield’s Learning Disability Strategy - ‘Our Big
Plan’. This strategy set the scene for improving the lives of
people with a learning disability in the City. It had been developed in partnership with the
learning disability community and carers and reflected their
priorities for the next 3 years.
 
It was stated that the strategy would be
underpinned by an annually updated delivery plan which would have
clear objectives and outcomes, agreed by the Learning Disability
Partnership Board. It was stated that it would also be complemented
by an Adult Future Options Transformation Programme. This would be
a partnership document, and a range of organisations would continue
together to deliver the Strategy’s objectives.
