Issue - meetings

The Board is asked to receive an update on the Oldham Learning Disability Strategy including a summary of actions and progress to date on each of the strategic priorities and giving context with the Greater Manchester Learning Disability Strategy.

The Board received a report providing an update on the Oldham Learning Disability (LD) Strategy that linked to the Greater Manchester (GM) LD Strategy and a summary of the actions and progress to date in Oldham on each of the ten strategic priorities that form the Strategy.

The GM LD Strategy had been in place from 2018 and had been written by people with a learning disability for people with a learning disability.  The Oldham LD Strategy aligned to the GM priorities, with each of the ten work streams having a named responsible lead to provide accountability. The Health and Wellbeing Board had delegated progression of the Strategy and priorities to the Learning Disabilities Partnership Board which included advocates and those with lived experience among the membership.

The Director of Adult Social Care advised the Board of progress made within each of the ten priority areas, highlighting the specific actions for Oldham that had been identified, and further advising of structures in place for learning and best practice to be shared across GM in each of the priority areas.  Councillor Marie Bashforth, Chair of the Learning Disabilities Partnership Board, supported the report, advising of the real energy and drive being put into progressing this big piece of work.

RESOLVED that the progress to date made in respect of the Oldham Learning Disability Strategy be noted.
