💸 Reimbursement of costsAbout Quality Champions Team
The Quality Champions Team was developed to work alongside the council to improve the quality of local services and to tackle inequalities by sharing what health and social care services look like through the eyes of autistic people, people with a learning disability and people with ADHD.
Volunteer with us as an EBE so we can ensure health and social care services offer person centred support and can make reasonable adjustments, so people enjoy their best life.
