Dear Colleague
I hope that this email finds you well.
Some of you will be aware (and even attended) that the Intellectual Disabilities (ID) programme working across London, Kent, Surrey and Sussex (LKSS) has worked with BILD to facilitate some consultation events for the Greater London Learning Disability Practitioner Community.
The full evaluation report from these events are available now (Click on the image or here to download) and the easy read summary will be made available in the communing weeks.
As part of our offer to the system we have been able to allocate funds for stakeholders across LKSS to undertake pilot workforce education and training projects. We are looking for innovative work that organisations have identified a need for and are willing to undertake with the caveat that all learning and resources produced as a result of the projects will be freely shared. We would particularly welcome pilot project proposals that look at children and young people and / or autism as we know that, as a programme, there is more work to do concerning these groups of people. However, we also welcome proposals that look at how the workforce can improve the quality of life for any other groups of people with a learning disability.
If you would like to approach us for funding please download and complete the “request for support form” (click here to download the form).
Please ensure that the completed form plus any attachments is returned to me via email by Tuesday 3rd April.
Please feel free to pass this post onto other colleagues and organisations within the region as appropriate and apologies for any cross-posting.
If you have any queries, do come back to me.
Best wishes
