Hello, welcome to the All Wales Community Living Network pages
Our Network exists to ensure that services continue to grow and develop for all people who have a learning disability and their family members in Wales. This should happen in a way that helps people to develop as individuals while being safe and secure at home and in their community.
The aims of our Network are to promote a wide range of quality services for people and their families which:
- Are based on the ‘social model’ of disability and principles of individuality and inclusion
- Continue to get better through monitoring and research
- Develop and improve because of the views of service users and their advocates
- Are provided by well-trained and motivated staff
- Are funded and commissioned so that they are stable for as long as they are needed
- Cooperate and share information with each other about new ideas that improve services
- Are very good employers of staff.
We also exist to help people and their families, provider agencies, commissioners of service, and regulators of services to find better ways of working together in an open and cooperative partnership that promote the rights and opportunities of people with a learning disability both locally and nationally.

Hello. This is the first post on our blog about best practice in housing management. We want to pass on interesting and important information about housing management and maintenance issues which affect tenants with a learning disability, their support providers and their landlords. To start things off we have uploaded our training document which we make available to the organisations who provide support to First Choice Housing Association tenants. It covers areas such as:
- Tenancy Agreements
- Tenancy rights and responsibilities
- Rent and service charges
- Management agreements
- Maintenance responsibilites
We hope you find this information useful. If you have any questions or comments about the information provided in the training document please feel free to post on here.
Bye for now.
