1
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
To summarise it,
it's about enabling people
2
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
with a learning disability
to lead the best possible lives
3
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
that they can for themselves
with some support.
4
00:00:17 --> 00:00:21
So, a learning disability strategy
for north Wales for people with
5
00:00:21 --> 00:00:26
learning disabilities was created
a few years back and
6
00:00:26 --> 00:00:31
our transformation team was
put in place to enable all the goals
7
00:00:31 --> 00:00:36
that were listed in the strategy.
So they looked at areas like
8
00:00:36 --> 00:00:40
living in your own place,
feeling safe, having friends,
9
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
having meaningful roles in life.
10
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
This project's helped me with
11
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
many things but the main things,
it's given me a voice for others,
12
00:00:52 --> 00:00:57
pride in the work we're doing
and some of the things,
13
00:00:57 --> 00:01:01
I can't actually describe
the pride I have in it.
14
00:01:02 --> 00:01:06
There are so many people out there
that have done so much work with this
15
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
especially through Covid,
and kept it going
16
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
and people have really needed
17
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
this co-production and
being a part of everything.
18
00:01:14 --> 00:01:18
Because once you're a part of something,
you have something to live for,
19
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
and I think really,
that is all we're asking.
20
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
I think the impact on staff
has been great because
21
00:01:28 --> 00:01:32
what we do is we use an approach called
co-production, which means
22
00:01:32 --> 00:01:37
that we design services and solutions
with people with learning disabilities.
23
00:01:37 --> 00:01:42
So the staff have had to learn
how to be alongside people
24
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
in designing those solutions
and delivering them,
25
00:01:44 --> 00:01:50
not consulting or engaging, but
right from the beginning co-producing.
