Ceredigion County Council website

Over the past two years, Ceredigion County Council, Pembrokeshire County Council, Carmarthenshire County Council and Hywel Dda University Health Board have been working closely with neurodivergent people and people with a learning disability to help shape the future direction of services and support in the region.

Currently, each county has its own Learning Disability Strategy. The new approach will bring these together into a single regional strategy, covering all three counties and ensuring a more consistent and joined-up approach across west Wales.

The draft recommendations have been developed and reviewed by the Regional Improving Lives Partnership (RILP), which includes representatives from:

• Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire County Councils
• Hywel Dda University Health Board
• The Dream Team
• Carmarthenshire People First
• Pembrokeshire People First
• West Wales Regional Partnership
• Projects funded through the Regional Integration Fund

Councillor Alun Williams, Ceredigion County Council Cabinet Member for Through Age Wellbeing, said: “We’re committed to ensuring that people with a learning disability and neurodivergent people are at the heart of shaping services that affect them. We encourage everyone to take part and share their views to help us develop a strategy that truly meets the needs of communities across West Wales."
