Approval for a new service model for people
with learning disabilities in Swale
As Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Public Health, I agree:
1) To change the Swale Learning Disability Day Services to a community hub based model as outlined in the attached report, subject to the current service being maintained until the replacements are up and running.
2) To utilise the identified capital money to obtain dedicated spaces within community hub buildings in Faversham, Sheerness and Sittingbourne, with the proposal of:
• two sensory multi-use spaces
• two adult changing places
• enhanced accessible features
Where community hubs are in a non KCC building there will be a capital grant agreement drawn up to protect KCC’s investment and ensure a rent free period.
3) That the Corporate Director for Social Care, Health & Wellbeing, or other delegated officer, to undertake the necessary actions to implement this decision.
