Membership

Members are given the opportunity to tell us the topics they would like to cover throughout the year. Sometimes the topics can be adjusted to fit the Planning Together or Learning Disability Forum meetings.

This gives members the opportunity to contribute to Camden Council's meetings and allows CPF to do presentations and fully participate at these meetings.

The meetings are done in Easy Read, with the use of a projector to make the meetings more visual and inclusive. Members have the opportunity to ask questions and raise queries or concerns which the coordinator aims to address.

Camden Council and other public sector workers attend some of our meetings, including the police, TfL, the local housing service, care providers and many more.
