Listening Sessions – Group Work
As part of an ongoing, wider commitment, we want to improve how people with disabilities are supported in Devon. We want to focus on what matters to people and how they can achieve their goals. The group were asked to give their views in the listening session, the questions were:
What is important to you?
What do you enjoy doing in the day?
What is it that you would like to do but can’t?

Or
