Learning Disability Action Plan for Adults 2025-26

Newham launched its first Learning Disability Action Plan in 2022. Every year we will update this.

Here are reports with this year’s priorities:

The Action plan has 6 outcomes and “I” statements to keep residents with a Learning Disability at the heart of everything we do.

1 – Heard and Valued

“I am treated with dignity and respect.
I can access information and advice when I need it to help me understand my options and make informed decisions.
I am helped to make my voice heard about things that affect my life.”

“I am free from abuse, harm and discrimination.
I am accepted by my local community regardless of who I am, where I live, or the circumstances of my life.
I have a range of supportive relationships of my choosing.”
