NHS Birmingham and Solihull Clinical Commissioning Group is running a series of drop-in sessions for individuals who may be interested in setting up their own ‘Small Supports’ organisations to care for people with a learning disability and/or autism.
‘Small Supports’ are small, community-focused organisations which offer intensive support that is bespoke to each individual and centred around their needs. This helps the person with a learning disability or autism to have support shaped around them and their life in the community, which could include work, volunteering, having friends and contributing to their community as citizens. People who set up ‘Small Supports’ organisations would be self-employed and would become micro-providers of support for people with a learning disability and/or autism in their local area.
The sessions will be held using Microsoft Teams on: Wednesday 24th June from 15:00 – 16:30 and Friday 26th June from 12:00 – 13:30.
