Skills for Care advisory groups

Skills for Care works with an expert group of people who have a learning disability and family members and/or carers of people who have a learning disability. Some of these people are also autistic.

The group gets involved in different parts of Skills for Care’s work to help us to get better at what we do. The group meets virtually on Zoom every second Monday of each month in the afternoon. 

We also work with an independent group of people who are autistic or have a work interest in autism. If you're interested in finding out more about the groups, please email Innovation@skillsforcare.org.uk. 

Payment

Members of the groups can claim a participation payment of £20 an hour for being part of the group, if they aren’t being paid by another organisation.

Other opportunities 

When we have other project where we want to work in co-production we ask people on our Expert Advisory Network. Anyone with experience of using adult social care or being an unpaid carer can get involved.

Register your details and tell us how you would like to be involved.
