Getting involved
There are lots of ways that you can get involved with shaping services:
- Physical and Sensory Impairment Partnership Board established to improve services for people with a physical or sensory impairment. Disabled people, carers and the voluntary sector are members of the Partnership Board together with health and social care staff.
- Learning Disabilities Partnership Board set up to make sure that the lives of people with a learning disability and their carers are improved. People with learning disabilities, carers and the voluntary sector are members of the Partnership Board together with health and social care staff.
- Barnet Disability and Independence Steering Committee (BDISC) is a group of local people with a physical or sensory impairment responsible for user-led services. They offer peer support, advice and information and also arrange social clubs.
- Local Involvement Networks (LINks) is a new way to give local people a say in their health and social care services.
