Service User Consultation and Involvement

The ODPM National Training Package on Service User Involvement was produced by Manchester's Supporting People Team, and was made by people who use supported housing services in the city.  The package is aimed not just at those who work in the sector, but also those who receive support.  Training was held in August 2005 to introduce the CLG National Training Package on Service User Involvement. This event was held to share the training package, explain the Manchester view, raise awareness of consultation and involvement, and share best practice models of practice.
You can download trainers' notes for the video "Whose life is it anyway?" (pdf) from the National Training Package.
