Take part in focus groups and support the Council's accommodation review

Cheshire Disabled Peoples' Panel is running focus groups to support a review being carried out by the Council around accommodation for people with learning disabilities, mental ill health and autistic people.

As a group of organisations that are mostly managed or staffed by D/deaf and disabled people, Cheshire Disabled Peoples’ Panel is holding the focus groups on behalf of the Council to help make sure people with lived experience, their families and carers have their say from the very start and throughout the review.

People are invited to join one of the focus groups to tell the Council about their experiences of housing, what they like about their accommodation, what they don’t like and if they’d like to live in different accommodation in the future.

Focus groups are taking place on the following dates.

• Disability Positive, Northwich - Wednesday, 17 April, 10am to 11.30am
• Dial House, Chester - Thursday, 25 April, 3pm to 4.30pm
• Online Zoom meeting - Tuesday, 30 April, 5pm to 6.30pm

A separate focus group is also taking place for British Sign Language (BSL) users at Deafness Support Network in Northwich from 10am to 11.30am on Monday, 29 April.
