2 Sean Thomas Donna Owens Dawn Cook Victoria Gorman Catherine Bowman Jemma Robson Hilary Slater Jenny Byers Rachel Lorimer Leisure Services, Darlington Council NHS NECS Darlington Foundation Trust Pulse Family Carer North East Commissioning St John of God Welcome Steve Roberts, Co-Chair welcomed everyone to the meeting. Steve reminded everyone of the rules and read out a list of the people who couldn t come today. Everyone introduced themselves. Notes of last meeting/ matters arising Mark went through the notes of the meeting on the 7 th of April 2014 to check they were right. We agreed they were. Mark read through the Networks Action Log and will update this and send out with the Minutes of the meeting. Winterbourne View Mark gave the Network an update on Winterbourne View. The Council and Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) had to send some information to NHS England and The Local Government Association (LGS) by the 5 th of May

3 They had to update on where they were with the 4 people who were part of the first Winterbourne plan and send a copy of the local action plan. Update on the 4 people One person has been discharged from hospital and now lives in a residential care home One person is still in hospital; however there is a plan in place that means they will be leaving hospital in June 2014 One person is still in hospital, however there is a plan in place and they will be leaving hospital just after June 2014 One person is still in hospital and there is still no plan for them to leave hospital. The Plan Mark and Donna have pulled together a local plan that sets out what changes need to be made. This has been shared with the Network. Danshel Susan Applegarth from Danshel told us about the company she works for. Danshel has been a company since 2010 and they took over some of the old Castlebeck services. Castlebeck was the company that owned Winterbourne View. Danshel have 9 services in the North East, including hospitals and residential and nursing homes. They are making some big changes in their business, like reducing the number of hospital beds they provide and changing how some services run. In Darlington there are some services that will be changing to make sure that something like Winterbourne View won t happen again. If anyone wants to talk to Susan she is happy to do so. Susan.Applegarth@danshell.co.uk 3

4 Learning Disability Self Assessment We looked at action plan we made at the last network with Kellie. Our plan has three main headings. - Staying Healthy - Living Well - Keeping Safe We looked at what we said about living well Sport and leisure: Know what accessible services are there already, a directory Two free carers should be allowed in with people Find out what the sport and leisure strategy says and how we can influence it. Sport and leisure to do - Check with public health to see if they have an updated sport and leisure directory - Check with Public Health about their plans for a Health hub in the Dolphin Centre - Write to the Council, Planet Leisure and Cineworld to ask about their policy on two Carers. Supporting people to get and keep a job Council to lead the way as an employer of people with learning impairment Develop and support micro enterprises Support people to volunteer 4

5 - Check who the lead from the council is on the new development next door to the Town Hall and invite them to the next Network meeting. Supporting People to get and keep a job to do Peter told us a bit about the work that he and his team are doing to develop work experience opportunities in the Council. They are looking at a 12 week work experience as a start. There are other opportunities in the Student Loans Company and B and Q. The Network is clear that what they want to see are paid jobs Carers Lisa gave us a brief update. There is plan to have a carers meeting half an hour before the Network meeting and then some carers will stay on. This will ensure we get a stronger carers voice at this meeting. The James from the updated the Network on some recent work. They have written a language fact Sheet that they will share with us and wider. They are getting some expert advice from DAD. There are so many good and bad words that they plan to have fact sheet 2. The key messages are: - We are people not aliens - We prefer to be called by our name 5

6 - We are not special The Parliament are planning to share this work with other Networks at the regional meeting The Parliament is working with 121 Trust to develop a logo for the Parliament. Harry raised some concerns he had about the Gateway club. He is worried that there are too many people attending. Mark agreed to check with Gateway how many people can attend. Harry also raised the fact that some people are unable to stay as they have to go because of staff changes. We agreed to talk about this again. Anything Else The Council and Health Service are asking people for their views on the plan to make the national mental health strategy happen. This is on the Council and CCG Website The Parliament is thinking about how they want to Co-Chair the Network. They think it might be a different member each time they will let Mark know. Next Meeting The next meeting is planned for the 4 th of August we agreed to change the date. Mark to let people know the new date. The things we could talk about are: - Autism - Change - Self-Assessment 6
