Decision details

Kent County Council’s (KCC) modernisation of Day Services for Adults with Learning Disabilities is an integral part of the transformation towards more personalised services reflecting the vision and strategy contained within “Valuing People Now” White Paper (January 2009) and KCC’s “Active Lives”. This is being underpinned by the “The Good Day Programme – Better Days for People with Learning Disabilities across Kent”, which will ensure people have a wider range of choice, more control and  equality of opportunity so that they may lead a full and meaningful person centred life.

The move to a community hub model will enable individuals to have greater access to their local communities and provide greater choice and opportunity for people with a wide range of needs

As Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Public Health, I agree to change adult learning disability service for Dover district from the current day centre model based at the Walmer Day Centre to a community hub-based model, as outlined in the attached report.
