The Strategy for People with Physical and Sensory Disabilities has been produced by the borough’s Physical and Sensory Disabilities Partnership Board which includes representatives from the council, the PCT, the voluntary sector, as well as, most importantly disabled people themselves and their carers. The document aims to fully reflect the views of disabled people. Much information was captured at the first Physical and Sensory Disabilities Conference which was held in July 2007. It sets out the improvements that the agencies are intending to make to their services that will benefit disabled people in the future.
This strategy will be contributing to the vision of Dudley Community Strategy by:
Listening to what disabled people say.
Responding to what disabled people tell us about the services that they want.
Being accountable for our performance to disabled people and their carers.
Providing value for money.
The overall vision is the promotion of stronger communities throughout the borough. Disabled people not only have a lot to gain from living in strong communities but have a great deal to contribute.
