The National Mental
Health Development Unit (NMHDU) aims to involve users and carers in all its
programme areas.
To help ensure that
involvement is as effective and far-reaching as possible, the NMHDU has
recently awarded a contract (following a tender process) to a consortium of
user and carer organisations hosted through the National Survivor User Network (NSUN), to assess and promote involvement in all aspects of its work
programmes.
The consortium, led by
the National Survivor User Network, includes the Afiya Trust, Attend,
Equalities National Council, Together, Mental Health Foundation and the Social
Perspectives Network (SPN).
An early action is to
undertake brief baseline assessments of the strengths, gaps and development
potential for user and carer involvement across each of our programme areas in
order to for the consortia to come to the NMHDU leadership team with
recommendations to further strengthen this aspect of our work.
Further developments on
this work will be posted here.
