Description

If you have a learning disability, we can support you to live as independently as possible and enjoy a good quality of life. We also support family carers so that they can have a break from caring.

We can help with:

  • help at home and with finding suitable housing
  • education, training and employment
  • breaks for carers
  • planning for the future
  • support to take part in leisure and community activities

To determine whether you are eligible for a service we will undertake a Care Act Assessment. You maybe offered a service form the council and/or offer information and advice to connect you to local services that can meet your needs.

We work closely with Essex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (EPUT) Learning Disability staff including Community Nursing, Psychology, Occupational Therapy and Speech and Language Therapy.
