We have a Learning Disability Partnership Board which is co chaired by a person with learning disability. One of the issues raised was that the websites of both the tPCT and Walsall MBC, although full of information about services they were separate websites and not very accessible to people with learning disability.

  Supported by an organisation called Web Enable we have developed a website for people with learning disability. This website has all the Partnership Board information including minutes in easy read format. In addition there is information about our services including an interactive section on health issues which we also have as a CD ROM as mentioned in evidence on Health facilitation. We are continuing to develop the website and now have an extensive Links page.

  The website will be able to host service users having their own website. We have funded equipment for "Making Our Choice" (see appendix) and they are in the process of looking at leisure services in Walsall and will develop their own website saying what is good and what is not good about what leisure activities are available to them. Eventually people will be able to have their own password protected section to keep personal information such as their person centred plan. This will keep the plan "live" as they will be able to update it online. To facilitate this we are currently prodding training for people with learning disability on how to use computers and how to access the internet. We are also in the process of developing an internet café which should be up and running later in the year.
