DOH and JIP support for Valuing People

The Department of Health West Midlands is working closely with the JIP to ensure implementation of Valuing People Now and Valuing Employment Now across the region.

DH regional lead for the Valuing People programme, Chris Sholl, is in contact with a range of organisations to ensure Valuing People Now and Valuing Employment Now are embedded in their work and to provide help where needed.

VPN is being managed locally, regionally and nationally. The regional learning disability programme board has devised an action plan to make sure it is delivered.

Regional lead, Chris Sholl says: “Its evident there is a lot of enthusiasm, hard work and partnership activity going into changing the shape of services. We are working closely with the JIP and are planning some joint projects.”
