New Autism Alert Card now available
A new Autism Alert Card is now available to any
Redbridge resident who has an autistic spectrum condition. The
card, which is the size of a credit card can be carried at all
times and used in situations where you cannot easily give an
explanation about your condition. It will also assist the police
and other emergency services to identify that they are dealing with
someone who has autism.
The card will carry the logos of the Redbridge
Disability Consortium, Centre for Independent and Inclusive Living
Redbridge (CiiLR) and Redbridge Council, so they will be easily
identifiable to the emergency services.
Living well, ageing well in Redbridge booklet
We want Redbridge to be a great place to grow
older which is why we have produced a new living well, ageing well
booklet.
The booklet is about making the most of later life as you get
older and knowing where to get information and advice if you need
further support.
We hope this booklet will help you improve your health and
wellbeing and live life to the full.
How Redbridge is supporting people with dementia
Redbridge Adult Social Services was asked
to participate in a film to show how the council is
supporting people with dementia and giving residents choice
and control in an extra care sheltered environment or in
the community.
