Learning Disability Partnership Board

About the Board

The Learning Disability Partnership Board meets in person four times a year and is made up of:

• people with lived experience
• parents and carers
• NHS and health and social care organisations
• representatives from the Council

The Lewisham Learning Disability Partnership Board was set up to help make the Learning Disabilities Plan 2024–2029 happen. Different groups will work on the Plan’s priorities, and the Board brings everyone together to check how things are going.

The LDPB is split into five subgroups, each focusing on one of the following key areas:

1. A good place to live
2. Health and wellbeing
3. A life with opportunities
4. A sustainable workforce
5. Developing the local market

The Board makes sure people with learning disabilities and families are involved in all decisions.

Meetings

The Board meets in-person four times a year at the Civic Suite in Catford. Meetings are open, friendly and are a great opportunity to discuss the issues that affect people with a learning disability. 

In 2026, meetings will take place on:

• Monday 26 January
• Monday 27 April
• Monday 27 July
• Monday 26 October

The agenda and easy read documents are shared in good time ahead of meetings.
