our advocacy projects

​Parents Together- funded by the Big Lottery

Offers specialist Advocacy support for Parents with Learning Disabilities who  are going through periods of crisis, which directly affect their children or family life. 

With Child protection and Care proceedings being complex and lengthy, parents with Learning Disabilities often have difficulty understanding processes. Through advocacy this project aims to ensure parents are fully informed, consulted and emotionally supported throughout.

​Safer Lives-Safer Futures
​
​This project is currently awaiting refunding decisions, and so referrals are currently closed.

On this project, our advocates sought to ensure the most vulnerable in our community were supported  through specialist advocacy to improve the quality and safety of their lives, become less isolated when in crisis and develop pathways to wider support in their communities.

You may find that we are able to offer you advocacy support through our Parents Together or our Mutual Carers / Forward Carers Projects. Please do contact us for further information

CASBA Forward Carers Project

CASBA is pleased to announce that we are now offering support for those who are in a caring role for adults 55 plus who have a Learning Disability, as part of Birmingham Forward Carers Initiative. We are offering regular telephone support, plus facilitation of peer support, through face to face or virtual meetings.

We will keep Carers up to date with information particular to their situation and signpost to services which will ensure that Carers are afforded the best possible outcomes. We are dedicated to provide carer-focused support aimed at promoting their wellbeing.

Mutual Carers Project—Funded by Lloyds Foundation
​

This project provides advocacy and volunteer support to families where carers are becoming less able or frail and are concerned  for the future of the person they care for who has a Learning Disability.  

Advocates and volunteers work with families to put in place circles of support to lessen future crises.

Choices and Changes
​This project is currently awaiting refunding decisions, and so referrals are currently closed.

With the recent and ongoing changes to welfare benefits and systems and to care  provision, people with learning disabilities are struggling to engage or understand  the changes that are affecting them.

​The project provided specialist Advocacy support to enable them to navigate these changes and better meet their needs.
