  3. The Launch The card was officially launched on: March 23rd 2011 at Northampton Football Club We also held another event on 24th March in Corby.

  4. The Launch About 300 people came to the events. Some people gave us some really good ideas Lots of people also promised to make things better for people with learning disabilities to feel safe

  5. The Event

  6. Keep Safe Card The keep safe card is for anybody with a learning disability who wants one. Each person decides what information they want to put on their card. The information will also go on the Police Disability Line

  7. Keep Safe Card So far, the police have sent out 670 Keep Safe Cards. 49% of the police disability line registered users have a Keep Safe card. This is almost half of the people.

  8. The DVD • We made a DVD that shows people with learning disabilities how to use their card. • The DVD also shows the Keep Safe places what to do if someone needs help. • We have also put the training tools on the DVD

  9. Keep Safe Places The first Keep Safe places are: Police Stations and Libraries Sweet Shop Kettering Safe places will have this sign. We will have more safe places during 2011

  10. Keep Safe Places Training • There are some places that we feel are not a safe place, like a public house or • Places where people live.

  11. Keep Safe Places This years Partnership Board plan says that we will have at least 10 more Keep Safe Places in Northamptonshire. We asked the Local groups to help us with their ideas for Keep Safe Places. We think we will have 10 new keep safe places by March 2012.

  12. Keep Safe PlacesTraining • The Partnership Board plan says that before anywhere can become a keep safe place we will make sure that people who work there are trained. • We have done this. • Maisie and Richard have helped deliver the training.

  13. Keep Safe PlacesTraining In October we will be having a meeting to Train the Trainer. This will train people in different parts of the county to become trainers for learning disability awareness and keep safe. They will then go and train the new Keep Safe Places in their area.

  14. Keep Safe PlacesTraining We have written an agreement that Keep Safe places need to sign before becoming a Keep Safe Place. We will also ask local Police Community Support Officers about possible new Keep Safe places. We want to make sure they are all safe.

  15. Keep Safe PlacesSecret Shoppers • We will also have some “secret shoppers” • The secret shopper will make sure the keep safe places are showing their Keep Safe sign.

  16. Keeping Safe • The Board plan says that 500 more people with learning disabilities and carers will know about the Keep Safe cards and Hate crime and how to report it. • We think we have done this because 670 people already have a card.

  17. Keeping Safe • We will try to make sure more people know about the card and hate crime by: • Holding events • Getting information in the papers and on the radio • Putting information in different newsletters and on websites.

  18. School for Monsters • The Board plan says that 500 more young people will know about disability hate crime and we will make a DVD. • The DVD and lesson plan have been made. The DVD is called School for Monsters. • We will take this to schools over the next few months so we think we will do what the Board asked us to

  19. School for Monsters • We will work with mainstream • and special schools to use the • DVD in lessons. • We will ask the schools to tell • us how the DVD has worked.

  20. Complaints procedures •  The Board plan says that 3 more public organisations like police, councils and NHS will have easy read complaints procedures and we will know how people with learning disabilities are treated when they use these services. • We will use “secret shoppers” to test these services. • We have not started work on this yet but will do soon.

  21. Charter of Rights • The Board plan says that we will have a charter of rights for • people with a learning disability in • Northamptonshire and all public • organisations will have said they • will stick to it. • We have started looking at charters that are used in other areas and we have met to talk about one for Northamptonshire. We think we will have finished this by March 2012.

  22. Next Year Due to the position of the board and funding we cannot plan for the year 2012.

  23. Any questions?
