The multi-agency physical and sensory impairment (PSI) partnership board was
set up in June 2006 and is a member of the NYSP Adult Strategic Partnership thematic
group.
The aims of the PSI Board :
-
to ensure services are planned and delivered in ways that enable disabled people
to exercise choice and control over how their additional needs are met; and
-
to promote access to the full range of services that many people take for granted,
in keeping with the social model of disability
The primary focus of the partnership board is on people of working age. However,
areas of service development will include people over 65 and young disabled people
in transition to adult services where this is considered relevant and effective.
The partnership board has refreshed the first "Equal lives strategy" for the
next five years 2011 - 2016. The strategy covers a wide range of themes, for example:
health, housing, transport, employment, social care services, access and information.
The multi-agency Equal lives action plan covers some of the objectives in the
first year. The strategy and action plan are available below.
