4. SOME OF THE WORK TILII DOES
We design and deliver training to staff to help them understand how people with a learning disability like to be supported. We talk about equality and respect and how important it is for staff to have the three P’s - Patience, Patience and Patience
We design and deliver Advocacy Training for our friends. We talk about how we all have human rights which is really great, but we also remind people not to forget about the responsibilities that go hand in hand with these rights
Roving Reporters, we have done lots of different reports from
The Launch of the Hospital Passport for people with learning disabilities to being safe in your home. Catherine from Downpatrick TILI enjoyed visiting the Fire Station.
Consultations. We have helped RQIA with the Bamford review and given our views on accessible transport to name only a few.
Surveys and questionnaire. We have and helped to design questions for patience surveys for example we did one recently for RQIA. We also helped a Dr Judy Curren who was looking at GP surgeries and ways to find out if people with a learning disability were receiving a good service.
At the moment we are also running workshops in each day centre in Belfast to insure service users give their opinions all of the day centres in Belfast
