The Green Book

Hello Welcome to this guide to opportunities in Peterborough for adults with learning difficulties.

We hope that this booklet will help you to choose the right courses in order to help you achieve your goals.

Perhaps you would like to get a job, learn new skills to help you live more independently or maybe you would like to meet new people and try things that you have never done before.

Hello!

2

Whatever your dreams are, flicking through this guide may open up new opportunities for you. We have tried to make

it easy to use by dividing it up into sections and using symbols. The Green Book is also available on the internet at: www.thegreenbook.btck.co.uk

Inside you will find lots of information about what is available in Peterborough and who to contact if you want to find out more or to enrol. The web site can give you new information about events, sports for you to try and any new college courses that may be available.

As well as the courses in this book, there may be

other ‘mainstream’ courses you would be able to go

to. These are the courses that all members of the

public can attend. Ask your college tutor or key

worker if you are interested in a ‘mainstream’

course. They can help you talk with the college to

see if one of these courses would be right for you.

We hope you find our Green Book useful. John, Liz and Steve, the Green Book Team

In March 2001 the Government wrote a report called Valuing People. It said that they wanted to make sure that people with learning disabilities were helped to get better lives. This includes things like having their own homes, better health, more things to do in the day and help to get a job. The Government said that to help us make Valuing People happen we should set up groups called Partnership Boards. The Peterborough Learning Disability Partnership Board brings together lots of different people to plan and work together to make a real difference in the lives of people with learning disabilities their families and carers. Members of the Partnership Board include:
