Learning Disability and Autism Strategy

Strategy for autistic people and people with a learning disability of all ages, living in Kent and Medway

We want your views!

Background

NHS Kent and Medway, Kent County Council, and Medway Council are working together as part of the Kent and Medway Integrated Care System to create a three-year strategy for people with learning disabilities and autistic people.

This strategy will explain how health and social care services plan to provide the right support.
We’ve been developing it with autistic people, people with learning disabilities, their families, and carers - because your voice matters.

Get involved

We're now inviting:

• Autistic people
• People with learning disabilities
• Families and carers
• Professionals

to join a workshop and help write an important chapter of the strategy called “The Right Support”.

We're offering multiple sessions, both in-person and online, so you can choose what works best for you.
