Learning Disability Action Plan for Adults 2022-25
Newham has worked with people who have learning disabilities and the people who support them to write a Learning Disability Action Plan 2022-25.
This plan will help Newham be a fairer place for people with learning disabilities and those who support them. It will help us to plan what we need to do to support people to live good lives and thrive.
Here is a video with residents telling you more about the plan: Newham Learning Disability Action Plan Summary

This is a three-year plan and we will update residents on the progress every year. Many Newham organisations will be involved in meeting its goals. We want people with learning disabilities and the people who support them to continue to be involved and help us meet the plan’s goals.
