People Participation

People Participation is about empowering our parents, carers, and service users to have a say in how we run our services. We value the unique experience and knowledge that our parents, carers, and service users have, and we recognise that your contributions are invaluable when planning service developments.
There are a vast range of paid opportunities for our parents, carers, and service users to participate in. This could look like:
- Recruitment: help us choose and train the staff you want to see working in the service.
- Feedback & Consultation: share your opinions on what needs to be improved and feedback good practice.
- Quality Assurance: participate in service user led accreditation of our teams.
- Quality Improvement: help us develop initiatives to improve service quality and accessibility.
