North Surrey Service User Involvement Project - Learning Disabilities

This is a project for people with a Learning Disability living in the North Surrey region (Runnymede, Spelthorne & West Elmbridge) and is funded by a Department of Health LDDF (Learning Disability Development Fund).

Its primary aim is to build up truly representational service user involvement in this area, so that service users are fully equipped to become involved in directing and planning local service delivery.

This will be achieved in a number of stages:

The rolling delivery of ten-week capacity building courses across the three boroughs.

Graduates from this course can then attend the Training for Trainers course, where training is provided to allow individuals to develop the skills necessary to deliver training courses themselves. This may be the Capacity Course listed above, or a course of his or her own devising.

Setting up of local Service User Forums in the three boroughs, with the aim that service user representatives from each forum will attend the Valuing People Team meeting for their locality, and will possess the training, confidence and skills to truly put forward the service user perspective on local service delivery.
