Welcome to leeds4disabledchildren!

This weblog is to record the whole process of consultation about building two new units for disabled children in Leeds, and I want to involve and welcome readers comments and input into the process. The units are a new eight bedded resource for young people 14 to 18 with learning disability and challenging behaviour, and a 12 bedded short breaks unit for disabled children and young people between 6 and 18, which will replace the current resource at Broom Court.

So far we have held three consultation events for staff, parent/carers and stakeholders, and four sessions for children and young people who use the existing service. The questions asked at these consultations have been kept, and will be published soon together with responses and answers, which you can then respond to and raise further questions through this blog, and future meetings.
