The Lancashire Learning Disability Consortium (LLDC) is a group of Voluntary (not for profit) provider organisations in Lancashire.
Our mission is to bring together voluntary sector providers of services for people with learning disabilities so that, acting together they may be a positive and informed influence on the development, commissioning and delivery of services.

The Learning Disability Coalition have recently launched 'Protect the Frontline' campaign which aims to raise awareness of the importance and impact that cuts to social care budget will have on the Learning Disability community.
As part of the campaign they are currently running an e-action involving writing to your MP, if possible could you circulate this link http://www.learningdisabilitycoalition.org.uk/Write_to_MP.asp to your members/staff?
Many thanks in advance for your help

Pova and Poca Lists
R (Wright) v Secretary of State for Health and Another
The House of Lords decided today that the procedure relating to Care Workers under Part VII of the Care Standards Act 2000 does not comply with the Human Rights Act 1998.
Care workers who look after vulnerable adults and are suspended or dismissed for misconduct, putting their charges at risk, are required to be reported to the Secretary of State by anyone who runs a care home or domiciliary service. Their names may then be placed provisionally on a list (the POVA list) which prevents them being employed to look after vulnerable adults. This provisional listing may or may not be confirmed. This scheme is modelled on the arrangements of those who work with children under the Protection of Children Act 1999 (the POCA list).
