Learning Disability Partnership Board

The Learning Disability Partnership Board’s role is to represent everyone in Cheshire East who has a learning disability and to be your voice.

We use the Learning Disability Self-Assessment Framework as our focus.

We promote and coordinate working together in Learning Disability services in Cheshire East Council, the NHS and voluntary organisations.

Live Well Directory

We produce a directory of services that support people with a learning disability. These services can be accessed through Live Well Cheshire East, or are available through the Growing Opportunities for Learning Disabilities (GOLD) booklet (PDF, 3.6MB).

Cheshire East Place: Learning Disability Plan 2024-2029 (PDF, 547KB) sets out the vision, ambitions, and commissioning intentions for people with learning disabilities of all ages living in Cheshire East. We co-produced the strategy with individuals who have a learning disability and their parents and carers, as we are committed to listening to and acting on the user voice and incorporating it within the strategy and future commissioning intentions. We produced the strategy collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders from across social care, health, education, the voluntary sector and independent providers delivering care and support.

Learning Disability Transformation

Learning Disability Transformation – Self-Advocates and Carers meeting 23rd April 2026 Council Chamber, First Floor, Macclesfield Town Hall

The Learning Disability Transformation – Self Advocates and Carers event was held on 23 April 2026 at Macclesfield Town Hall. The event provided an opportunity to share information, gather views and promote discussion about learning disability transformation within Cheshire East.

The event was attended by people who use services, including individuals accessing supported living and day services, alongside parent carers, staff from provider organisations and elected members. This ensured a wide range of lived experience and professional perspectives were represented throughout the discussions.

The agenda included an overview of Learning Disability Transformation and what it means to people, feedback from recent reviews, and a presentation on Care Cubed. Attendees were encouraged to share their views, ask questions and engage in open discussion to help shape future work.

The event was organised by Cheshire East Council Adult Social Care staff, working in partnership with the Learning Disability Transformation Team. Overall, the session supported engagement, transparency and collaboration, helping to ensure that the voices of people with lived experience and their carers continue to inform service development and transformation plans.
