our advocacy projects
Preganancy to Parenthood - funded by the Big Lottery
This project is now accepting referrals. This Project aims to ensure parents with a learning disability and their children receive the appropriate support during pregnancy and as new parents so they can develop good enough parenting skills and thereby safeguard their families and hopefully reduce the need for social services involvement. 
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. 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 |
