A Better Life Conference
A special conference focussing on people with learning disabilities in Herefordshire is to be held next month.
A Better Life is to be held at the Kindle Centre, Hereford, on Thursday, December 13.
It will be hosted by the Herefordshire Valuing People Partnership Board - a group which brings together all those who have an interest in ensuring good life chances and positive outcomes for people who have a learning disability in Herefordshire.
The conference will feature three national speakers, as well as presenters who are service users, and their carers.
A Better Life will provide an opportunity for people with a learning disability, and those involved in supporting them, to hear the latest national and local news, and contribute to local developments.
The three national speakers are: Rob Grieg - national director for Learning Disabilities; Chris Davies - ex-chairman of the Learning Disability Task Force and Caroline Tomlinson - associate director, In Control.
The welcome speech will be given by Cllr Olwyn Barnett, Herefordshire's cabinet member for adult social care and housing.
The event is open to invited guests - anyone wanting further information should contact Sara Siloko, directorate services officer (health), on 01432 261804.
