3. Tricuro Anja Ford Tricuro will change some of the day services so that they can be used by a mixture of different people. They will talk to clients and their families to find out how people use day services. Different groups of people will share the day services at Bridport. Some people did not like this idea at first. Now people are pleased about it. The day service at Verwood will become a connect service. This means that more older people will be able to use it. Tricuro Transport Some people could not get to the Dorset People First speaking up event. This is because of problems with transport and not having enough staff. Anja Ford will bring some notes about the work being done on this.

8. Transforming Care Programme Care and treatment reviews Reviews often happen after people have gone into hospital. It is not always possible to get the right care for people in Dorset when they come out of hospital. Learning Disability Death Review (LeDeR) There are only four people in Dorset doing the reviews. This is not enough. Reviewers do not get paid and have to go on a training course. Emma Duff is the local area contact. It is now easier to write about someone’s Learning Disability on a death certificate. Safe Havens There are 3 safe havens in Dorset for people with Learning Disabilities. There will soon be 19 more places to stay.

8. Transforming Care Programme Hospital spaces When there is nowhere for people to stay they may have to move out of Dorset. We would like to move these people back into Dorset. Shottsford House People can stay at Shottsford House when they come out of hospital. There are not enough staff working at Shottsford House. We are making a plan for Shottsford House. Karen Maher will talk to the Adult Safeguarding Board about the problems and tell us what happens.

Page 11

9. People First Dorset Kerry Martin, Lisa Dixon and Pete Harper Speaking Up Group—Lisa Dixon There are 8 speaking up groups in Dorset. Members worry about keeping safe online and need some advice. Karen Maher will speak to People First Dorset about how the Safeguarding Adults Board can help with this. There will be workshops to help people to plan what will happen when their parents can no longer look after them. You can write a letter of wishes to go with your will. This will tell people what you would like to happen after you have died.

9. People First Dorset Personal Independence Payment (PIP) Some people feel they are not being fairly assessed. Access guide People are still having problems getting around in Dorchester. People First Dorset and the Princes Trust are writing a guide. This will help people find easier ways to get around. It will be ready in December. Forum Service users still have problems with transport. Advocacy People First Dorset are working with Dorset Advocacy, Access Dorset and Healthwatch to make some new advocacy groups.

10. Complete Community Care Andrew Bassford Complete Community Care have an optician who can visit people at home. They have experience with people with Learning Disabilities. If you are over 60 or on certain benefits they may be able to give you a free eye test. They could visit people in day centres if they are asked to.

11. Internet Crime Jake Moore Crime on the internet or email is called cyber crime. Jake teaches people in Dorset about how to use the internet and email safely. Public WiFi Be careful when you use WiFi in a public place. People might be able to find out what you are doing on the internet. Emails Emails that look real but are made to trick people into giving out personal information are called phishing emails. You can check an email is real by phoning the person and asking if they sent it. Passwords Use letters, numbers and symbols to make a password that is not easy for other people to guess. A password manager is a computer program you can use to make and remember passwords. Computer viruses Anti-virus software does not protect your computer from all viruses.

11. Internet Crime Jake Moore Phone calls People who phone trying to sell you something are known as cold callers. A scheme called Take Five to Stop Fraud Gives advice about cold callers. There is more information about this at www.takefive-stopfraud.org.uk Other ways to be safe Make sure websites have a padlock symbol if you are entering your bank card number. This means they are secure. Criminals who try to get your information from websites or emails are called scammers. Scammers could get information from forms you fill out online. Try not to fill out your real details in these forms.
