Share your views on day opportunities
We are asking people in Cornwall to share their views on day opportunities.
Day opportunities are flexible, community-based activities that support people aged 18 or above with a disability to live full meaningful lives within their local communities.
Cornwall Council currently operates day services alongside those provided by community companies, charities and private organisations. People also take part in activities provided by clubs, leisure centres, or charities.
Day opportunities will support people to do the things they want to do, which many people take for granted, including having places to meet friends, engaging in leisure opportunities, support with preparing for and undertaking work.
From what people are telling us, we think that what people want from day opportunities has changed, particularly after Covid. These conversations will help us to understand this a bit more, as well as understanding what people want services to look like in the future.
We want to make sure our future services are able to meet the increasing demand, as well as being fit for purpose, and we want your views to help us do this.
We want to hear from you
People who use services or who might in the future
If you currently use services, what works well and what doesn't work so well? By knowing this we can shape our future services so that it best meets yours and other's needs, making sure there is a choice of activities available.
If your friend or relative uses this service then what do you think works well, and, if you think you might use this service in the future, what sort of service would you like to have available to you?
Please use our easy read guide to help you fill in the online survey. If you require any support in completing this survey please contact adultscommissioning@cornwall.gov.uk
Service providers
We want to continue our conversations so that we can identify more opportunities for day and inclusion services in the community to empower independence and improve quality of life.
Care workers
If you support people with learning disabilities and autistic people to do activities then please let us know your thoughts on services.
Give us your views
Surveys are open to both members of the public and staff who deliver day opportunities and inclusion to the community.
The surveys will close on Monday 20 November at midday.
Co Production Engagement
NTDI (The Nation Development Team for Inclusion) were commissioned to support with co production to understand what people want from day activities completing an extensive co-production exercise. This ensured independence and objectivity whilst engaging with people who will use day opportunities and other stakeholders and ensured that peoples voices and views on the future model are truly understood.
