MEIFOD UPDATE
25/11/2021 - MEIFOD UPDATE
RESOLVED that –
(a) Meifod be re-opened as a Council run
service for adults with learning disabilities as soon as it is safe to do so,
following the necessary investment into the existing building/facilities. It was anticipated that the service would be
able to re-open by February 2022, although this could be sooner if works are
completed quickly;
(b) officers to provide options for members
to consider through the established political process on:
·
new ways of working at Meifod to improve learning and
skills across a range of activities, including working with timber
·
alternative service delivery models for the operation at
Meifod with a view to improving the long-term sustainability of the service as
the lease on the building expires in 4 years
(c) officers to establish a stakeholder
group, including representative family members and individuals who attend
Meifod or their advocates to ensure they are fully engaged in the re-opening of
the service along with developing any future options for its operation.
