A new regional strategy aims to improve support for people with learning disabilities.
Designed to cover Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, and Carmarthenshire, the West Wales Learning Disability Strategy 2026–2031 proposes a unified approach to services.
The draft strategy is now open for public consultation, with residents invited to share their feedback.
Alun Williams, cabinet member for through age wellbeing at Ceredigion County Council, said: "We’re committed to ensuring that people with a learning disability and neurodivergent people are at the heart of shaping services that affect them.
"We encourage everyone to take part and share their views to help us develop a strategy that truly meets the needs of communities across West Wales."
The strategy is the result of two years of collaboration between Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire, and Pembrokeshire county councils, alongside Hywel Dda University Health Board.
It aims to replace separate county strategies with a single, consistent plan for the region.
Draft recommendations have been reviewed by the Regional Improving Lives Partnership, which includes representatives from local councils, the health board, and advocacy groups such as The Dream Team, Carmarthenshire People First, and Pembrokeshire People First.
Residents can take part in the consultation by completing the West Wales Learning Disability Strategy Survey online or in paper form.
Paper copies are available from Ceredigion libraries and leisure centres, or by calling 01437 764551 or emailing getinvolved@pembrokeshire.gov.uk.
The deadline for submissions is 5 July 2026.
