About the strategy One Stockport Learning Disability Strategy 2025 to 2030
This strategy sets out the strategic priorities to help people with learning disabilities to have happier, healthier and more independent lives.
Through the development of this strategy our engagement with people with lived experience, their carers, health and social care professionals told us that there are things that are working well in Stockport. However, we also need to continue to improve the lives of people with learning disabilities.
It's our vision that people with a learning disability in Stockport will have opportunities to be as independent as they can be. With access to the right information, advice, meaningful community engagement in paid work, work placements, education and support, to enable them to reach their full potential.
This strategy will help us to tackle some of the national challenges that we face. We'll continue to develop services that are aspirational, support the ethos of Gloriously Ordinary Lives and think beyond the obvious for people with a learning disability and their families and carers.
Our Plan: Stockport’s 5 Pillars: An Ordinary Life for People with Learning Disabilities
people with learning disabilities told us what they wanted as their priorities. We have used these to shape our vision for the next 5 years and how we will work with people with learning disabilities
people with learning disabilities also told us that feeling a sense of belonging was important to them. They wanted to feel connected with their friends, families and local communities
people with learning disabilities told us that they needed communities to understand, see and value how they enhance and make Stockport’s communities better
