Professional Line for Powys People Direct's Adult Services
Did you know there is a Professional Line to access Powys People Direct's adult services? Using this line avoids the automated caller system ("please press 1 for..."). This means that if there is no one to take the call, you will initially hear music and no message. However your call will be answered as soon as someone is available.

Physical Disability and Sensory Loss survey seeks views
The pre strategy engagement consultation is now live on the Powys website.
Powys residents who have physical disabilities and/or sensory loss conditions and their families are being asked to take part in a survey to help shape the future of services provided for them.
A five year plan is being drawn up by Powys County Council and Powys Teaching Health Board to focus on key priorities and services for residents in the county. A first draft is due to be drawn up by December and views given in this pre-consultation survey will help shape and feed into this.
The survey is available on line at www.powys.gov.uk/haveyoursay until 16 November. Click on the title under the “pre-consultation” tab. Arrangements have also been put in place with Disability Powys for anyone with a visual impairment to do the survey over the telephone. The number to call is: 0800 988 1691.
A forum was established a few years ago by the Council and Powys Teaching Health Board to allow them to get a better understanding of the issues facing residents with physical disabilities and sensory loss. It is co-chaired by two Powys residents who continue to experience the challenges of living with specific conditions.
Cllr Stephen Hayes, Cabinet Member for Adults Services said: “The forum has been instrumental in informing and shaping our thinking and understanding around the services people with physical disabilities and/or sensory loss access or need to access.
“Our five year plan will focus on such services and we would very much welcome any views and insights that individuals, families or professionals have about the draft priorities identified in the survey. Issues such as having more choice and control and improving employment opportunities are just two of the priorities we’re keen to progress during the next five years.”
