Our Work

Bath People First working with Bath and North East Somerset Council and BANES Primary Care Trust

We get funding from Bath and North East Somerset Council and the Primary Care Trust to work with them to improve services for disabled people.

We support people to become peer and self advocates and to speak up about issues which affect their lives.

We have meetings and guest speakers on things like housing, employment, safer communities, health and hate crime.

We feed back to the Learning Disability Partnership Board and let them know what we think about important issues.

PCT

We work with the Primary Care Trust to make sure that people with a disability get a good health service.

GP

Our members will be speaking to Doctors and Hospitals to help them make things easier for people with learning difficulties.

Doctor

We will be working to help people with learning difficulties get regular health checks and speak with confidence to doctors.

We will work closely with the Disability Equality Forum (DEF) and the Race Equality Council (REC) to make sure every group is listened to.

Report

At the end of the year, we will produce a report so that other User Led groups can learn from us.
