Update On Some Of The work

Inclusion North Are Doing

Safe Place Scheme in Tees

Member areas from Tees have used some of their

vouchers to club together and have Inclusion North help

them develop a safe place that will cover:

Hartlepool

Stockton on Tees

Redcar and Cleveland

Middlesbrough

A safe place scheme uses community venues where

people go if they are feeling unsafe or need to get help in

some way. Places such as cafes or shops have a safe

place scheme logo in the window and people carry cards

with contact details of somebody who can help.

All four areas of Tees will use the same symbol. The

Cleveland Fire brigade have also offered to help run the

scheme.

Cleveland police have also agreed to Police Community

Support Officers helping out with the scheme and the

project is being championed by the Local Police and

Crime Commissioner Barry Coppinger.

them work out how they can make co-production happen

in North Yorkshire. This includes working out:

How services can use co-production

to help write their support plan.

been invited including:

10 jargon phrases used for my autistic son

Mark Neary writes about the care his autistic son receives.

My son Steven is 23. He has autism and other learningdifficulties. And the language of the social care systemseems to make his life sound even less "normal" than it is.

The adult social care world is about many things, but onething that I feel it's not about is care. The language seemsto mislead you right from the start. Processes seem tocome before people in a system of impenetrablemanagement where money is the biggest consideration.
