    What's in My Head After Day 1

    This document contains notes from a meeting discussing the potential loss of funding for disability forums in the United Kingdom. Attendees expressed concerns that without national forums, the voices of those with disabilities would be lost when providing input to partnership boards. There was worry that local self-advocacy groups could be negatively impacted if the national voice is not supported. Many ideas were suggested for campaigns and initiatives to fight the funding cuts and keep the forums active, such as creating a template letter, online petitions, and visiting Parliament.

    Whats in my head after Day 1?

    Green
    Hearing other ideas?
    Forum members could write template letter to send out to people
    in the regions to lobby and campaign against the funding for the
    forums being cut.
    It was interesting to hear about the Disability hate crime work from
    Gill and Richard.
    Enjoyed the South East report to find out more about their area.
    Start a Petition Online _paper change / 38 Degrees. Gov.uk need
    100, 000 Signatures.
    Thinking about all the work we have done Hate Crime staying
    strong.
    East Midlands helped liked the images on presentations and
    finding out whats going on with each area.
    People had good ideas. They had creative ideas about how to
    survive.
    We want to talk this morning to sort out what we are going to do
    with a campaign about not getting funding for the future.
    Link up with Local Authorities and Strategic heads
    o Mencap
    o ADAS
    Link up with NVFF.
    o What are they doing?
    o Can we campaign together?
    Liked what John said about going to Parliament. It would be good
    for the National Forum to visit Parliament to see how the powers
    work.
    We have got a good thing going NF is at its strongest.
    We could take a photo today get Quotes and put this news at
    today.
    Foundation mate / hate crime Jill + Richard updating good.
    I found the talk about hate crime very interesting because its
    something we talk about in our area.
    Learning more about Hate Crime nationality and that it is important
    to involve the Police.

    I like rule 7. No Jargon.

    I found a lot of the information provided was not easy read.
    How much is the cost of a National meeting 7,000.00. No
    supported staff.
    Make some Noise, timeline, positive stories, how it has changes
    lives.
    Graphic of history
    o a Film including past representative
    o a big event invite Government
    Budding System for new members.
    o Agenda a bit confusing
    o Would like more videos to help with understanding.
    Can forum members start charging for their work consultations
    for the forums to earn money?
    Is there somewhere else for people to go to have a voice
    nationally?
    How do we let people know what is happening?
    What do we need to do now timescale?
    Value for money report to go to department of Health with an
    invoice for future. Consultation work.
    Put bids in for funds so forum can continue.
    We want to fight this decision and we have lots of ideas.

    Red
    Didnt have much time to prepare due to what was going on.
    o Actions where not talked about.
    People voices on partnership boards will be lost as they are seen
    as links to National Forum. They will be asked to leave.
    We lost the Regional Partnership Boards which was ok as we had
    other Forum meetings. Now they are closing the Forums.
    We dont want National Forum to close.
    If the national voice is not valued what impact will this have on
    local self-advocacy?

    Stop we need a plan to agree today as a Rep. I need to tell people


    our plan.
    People with Learning Disabilities might loose their voice.
    Angry that the Department of Health are not going to fund us. I
    want to protest in London.
    Real worries about the (Br) exit of the National Forum.
    We need to right a letter to the department of Health saying we are
    unhappy about being told by email about Funding being stopped.
    Im worried the government getting things wrong because we are
    no longer working with them and listened to.
    We hadnt heard about the report called loneliness and cruelty at
    all. (from the foundation (we think its called that but might be
    something different)).
    Im worried that people wont stay connected when the money is
    gone.
    We were shocked to hear that there will be no more funding.
    We dont want to loose all the experience we have.
    It was a strange start to the meeting not having the co-chairs or
    Lucy etc in the room that has a knock on effect. The rules need to
    be read out at the start of each meeting.
    This could put all self-advocacy at risk.
    Dont give up fight.
