SpeakEasy N.O.W. Annual Report April 2021- March 2022 m.o.w 11 EOBY r•ad¥•rilon by uolng www.speakeasynow.org.uk
Introduction Although Covid-19 continued to provide some challenges, it has been a year of learning new ways of working and looking to the future. Members were pleased to be able to get back to having face to face meetings. They have been busy working on different projects and meeting with lots of people and local organisations to speak up about some important issues. Covid-19 has meant that members have learnt more about using technology and feel more confident doing things online. Nationally, Covid-19 highlighted the health inequalities faced by people with learning disabilities, making the work of our Health Checkers as important as ever. Our People's Parliament gathered and reported the experiences of people with learning disabilities in Worcestershire during the pandemic. They challenged the 'Covid excuse, and helped local services to see how they could make changes. At the beginning of this year we carried out a review of SpeakEasy N.O.W.'s services. We wanted to understand what is important to our members and others who we work with. We used this feedback to plan how we can continue to develop and grow. Jacqui and Ray Co-chairs of SpeakEasy N.O.W. Board of Trustees We would like to welcome Marihah, who was elected as the new Chair of the Management Committee in January. We look forward to working with Marihah and the rest of the Management Committee on our plan for the future of SpeakEasy N.O.W. Chief Officer News During April 2021 to March 2022, Sandra Hill, continued as our Chief Officer before retiring in July 2022. We all wish Sandra well and thank her for all her work and support during her nine years with SpeakEasy N.O.W. We look forward to working with our new Chief Officer, Morag Edmondson, when she starts working with us in July 2022.
Our new project 'SpeakUp and Connect, In April 2021, we received funding from the Community Lottery to fund our new project Speakup and Connect. Digital Lifeline Scheme DIGITAL INCLUSION Access, Explore, Interact The 4-year funding allows us to further develop our self-advocacy work and expand our engagement with other organisations. During 2021, Worcestershire Libraries led a scheme called'Digital Lifeline, where 30 people, who have a learning disability, were given a tablet for their own use. Here are some of the things we have achieved: Digital Lifeline is a national project that was set up as an emergency response to help digitally excluded adults at increased risk of isolation due to Covid-19. Setting up a monthly online self-advocacy group Making new links with day services and preparing to start face to face visits Ray, who is Co-chair of the Board of Trustees was part of this group. He now has a tablet and is able to use it to join online meetings and for his own personal use. Creating the new logo for Speakup and Connect thanks to members Andy and Rachel Planning for the Worcester self-advocacy group Severn Source to restart in a new and more accessible venue Al 'i••' Planning for the Redditch Group Reddi-to-Talk, to restart etin(
Health Checkers We learnt that people with learning disabilities have died from constipation, because they didn't get the help they needed. So we have worked to promote Bowel Health awareness. Health Checkers have been working with health and social care professionals in co-production, making sure that people with learning disabilities have their say and are involved in local services. We were involved in planning an online event'AII about Poo!1 in March 2022 and we have a market stall event planned for next year. Health Checkers have worked closely with NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire Complex Needs Team, helping to improve services and supporting at Care, Education and Treatment Reviews for people in learning disability and mental health hospitals, and, or in the community. We have worked hard to improve the quality of Annual Health Checks and make sure more people have them, especially young people. We have promoted the need for reasonable adjustments at health care appointments. We have been working on plans to set up a hub so that trained Experts by Experience are available to support this -, important work. NHS fOryrA As a result of the good work that Health Checkers have done, in the last 12 years, NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire are looking to set up a Health Checkers team in Herefordshire. We completed a mapping exercise for Herefordshire looking at where people with learning disabilities and autism meet up and the groups they may attend. We are very much looking forward to working in Herefordshire next year.
Stakeholders were interested in hearing real-life accounts and we have seen positive changes being made, as a result, including: People's Parliament Big changes in the way we work! In 2021, we made big changes introducing our first workshop for people with learning disabilities across Worcestershire. Worcestershire County Council have improved their communications by involving us in making improvements to their website The workshop was about Covid-19 and the 'Covid Excuse,. It was very successful with over 40 people attending. The Social Care learning disabilities team have ensured that their documents are now easier to understand Community Learning Disability Nurses have held some online advice and information sessions People's Parliament members wrote to and met with local politicians including MP Harriett Baldwin and we wrote to the Health Secretary about our findings. This new way of working, allowed us to hear more stories directly from people with learning disabilities because people were more confident and happier to share them in a workshop environment. These stories were shared with stakeholders at provider forums, the Learning Disability Partnership Board, the 'Staying Healthy, group and 'Having a Place to Live, group. We are really pleased with our new way of working and plan to do the same next year.
Easy Read This year we have continued to help lots of organisations in translating their documents into Easy Read. Our Experts by Experience quality check our work to make sure that it can be easily understood. We use Photosymbols software to illustrate our documents. Photosymbols work with people with learning disabilities to create the pictures, including our own members, who love getting involved. We have received some great feedback about our Easy Read work and our Awareness Training. Learning DisabilitylAutism Awareness Training, doing things a little differently. SpeakEasy N.O.W. have developed a good reputation for the delivery of Learning Disabilityl Autism Awareness Training. "Thank you so much for this training session, I found it very useful for my role as a Social Prescriber. "The different adaptations we can make are really simple but really effective for those with learning disabilities. Our Experts by Experience, usually deliver this face to face, but during Covid-19 we did things a little differently. We created an e-learning version of our Awareness Training, so that we could continue to provide this valuable service. We delivered training to staff at Platform Housing and Public Health at Worcestershire County Council. "Itwas good to hear first-hand about the difficulties Experts by Experience have each experienced." We will still deliver our face to face bespoke Awareness Training, but we can now offer a variety of training options to suit all needs and budgets.
Our new website This year we decided to have a new website built. We needed a website that was easier to navigate, has better accessibility features and be more efficient to maintain. We worked with a local web developer to achieve our goals. We are very pleased with the new website, take a look and find out more about us.
