Published on Jun 28, 2022
Can you help us to create it?
KIDS have been appointed by the Humber, Coast and Vale Keyworker Service to develop a ‘Community of Experience’ for all children and young people with a learning disability, autism or both, their families and carers.
Are you a parent or carer of a child or young person with a learning disability, autism or both who lives in Northern Lincolnshire? If yes, we invite you to get involved in developing a ‘Community of Experience’. At this event we would like to hear from you to understand your experiences.
The ‘Community of Experience’ will:
- Be created by people with lived experience of a learning disability, autism, or both.
- Direct children, young people, parents, and carers to support services and information.
- Include a peer support service so that those with lived experience can help
others – people with lived experience will provide this service.
To achieve this we wish to speak to those with those with lived experience to understand what your needs are. We will use what we have learned to create the service. These events will also provide the opportunity to meet other parent/carers and exchange information.
The ‘Community of Experience’ will support the Humber, Coast and Vale Key-worker Service, but be open to all children, young people with a learning disability, autism or both, their parents and carers across: Hull, East Riding, North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire, North Yorkshire and York.
This event is open to parents and carers in Northern Lincolnshire. If you are unable to attend this event but would like to be involved in creating the ‘Community of Experience’ then please do contact us.
