What does the Learning Disability Service do?

The Learning Disability Service in Rotherham is provided jointly by Rotherham Primary Care Trust and Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council through a Partnership Agreement, in line with the Government’s White Paper, Valuing People, and Health Act Flexibilities.

The service is for people aged 18 and over, who have a moderate or severe learning disability and their carers. The aim of the service is to make sure Valuing People happens and that 4 key points lie at the heart of all our services – Choice, Inclusion, Rights and Independence – and to enable adults with a learning disability to live a fulfilling life in the community of their choice.

We work in partnership with:

  • People who need a service
  • Their carers
  • Neighbourhoods and Adult Services
  • Health
  • Voluntary and independent groups
  • The wider community

The Learning Disability Service reports to the Learning Disability Partnership Board, where all members of the above partnerships are represented.

The types of services provided by the Learning Disability Service and in partnership with others are:

  • Assessment and Care Management (eg Community Teams, Assessment and Treatment Unit)
  • Residential Care (eg residential / nursing homes and respite services)
  • Advice and Information and Carer Support (eg RAP, SpeakUp)
  • Care in People’s Homes (eg home care, supported living schemes, Family & Friends scheme)
  • Day Services (eg day and resource centres, specialist day care).
