Description
The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham is commissioning an innovative provider to deliver a borough-wide Peer Support and Lived Experience Leadership Programme for adults with learning disabilities, autism and wider neurodiversity (LDAN), including carers.

builds sustainable peer support networks ensuring that approaches are appropriately tailored to the needs of specific groups
establishes meaningful co-production and lived experience leadership structures
improves inclusion and accessibility across community and public-facing services
supports early intervention, improves health inequalities and reduces escalation to statutory services
The programme will play a key role in shaping future service development, including potential expansion into a broader borough-wide prevention and navigation offer.
