Learning Disability Partnership Board
Role of the board
The role of the Dorset Learning Disability Partnership Board is to improve the lives of people with a learning disability who live in the Dorset Council area, by:
- promoting their independence, choice, rights and inclusion
- making sure they are treated as equal citizens, with access to mainstream services such as health, housing, employment and education
- making sure outside bodies consult with the partnership board as their main source of information when planning and making decisions that affect the lives of people with a learning disability
The board meets every three months and is chaired by the Corporate Director for Adult Care, and co-chaired by an adult with a learning disability.
Review of the Learning Disability Partnership Board
The council would like a strong and influential partnership board. A review is currently underway to consider how the board can be organised and managed to be more effective.
