Involving service users in strategy development and organisational planning
Resource was added by: Bec Hanley
This is an updated paper that aims to share our experience of involving service users and carers in the development of an organisation's strategy. It's a few years old now but still felt to be useful.
Pathways Through Participation
Resource was added by: Bec Hanley
This is the final report of the Pathways through Participation project. This research project aimed to improve understanding of how and why people participate, how their involvement changes over time, and what pathways, if any, exist between different activities. The project was funded by the Big Lottery Fund and led by the National Council for Voluntary Organisations in partnership with the Institute for Volunteering Research and Involve. It started in April 2009 and finished in November 2011.
Although it doesn't focus on service user involvement, lots of the learning is transferable. And although it's quite old now, it's still felt to be useful.
