We have continued to work alongside local statutory and voluntary sector services to enable them to make appropriate changes to the provision they offer. Representation has been made at conferences, events, meetings and forums within both the Health and Social Care sectors where the quality of service provision is scrutinized and can be influenced. We have continued to work with Total Communication CIC on our Communicatlon Rights Charter and have continued to work towards going to London to lobby in parliament. Members continue to take the opportunity to present our work In different platforms and how we can ensure the charter sits in current law to ensure everyone is given the right to communlcate. We have co-produced and co delivered a number of workshops this year including healthy living, Mental wellbeing, personalisation (cholce and Control), Care Act assessments and safe8uardin8.

We have successfully formed I new self-advocacy group that has regular monthly sessions. This has been done alongside our members who have led the sessions and supported people to speak up. We continue to have a sharp Increase In the request for one to one advocacy for people with learning disabilities. This has been a result of people not being able to access statutory advocacy due to the eligibility of statutory advocacy. Therefore we have had to ensure staff are appropriately trained and we have enrolled one member of staff on to the community advocacy training. We secured funding from Lloyds foundation to develop our one to one advocacy service to meet this demand. We continue to support Rochdale People First in Rochdale.
