National Involvement Partnership (NIP)
The National Mental Health Development Unit (NMHDU) awarded a contract to a consortium of user and carer organisations, to assess and promote involvement of mental health service users and carers in all aspects of its work programmes between July 2009 - March 2011.
The consortium, led by NSUN, includes the Afiya Trust, Attend, Equalities National Council, Together, Mental Health Foundation and the Social Perspectives Network (SPN). These organisations have a wealth of previous experience in the field, and the aim of NSUN is to broaden the remit of service user and carer involvement in national mental health policy. The work is continuing as the National Involvement Partnership (NIP).
The partnership now has a feasible infrastructure for the involvement of service users and carers to contribute to mental health policy development. NIP is establishing some basic principles and aiming towards being a resource where examples of good practice can be found. One approach to the subject is to think of involvement in terms of purpose, presence, process and impact (PPPI). These four headings present a relatively accessible way of describing and monitoring involvement. To read more click here.
Involvement on the Joint Commissioning Panel and the Ministerial Advisory Group has been established. For more information contact Fran Singer.
Previous involvement opportunities have included:
- Liaison and diversion services focus groups
- Personalisation case studies
- Mental Health Strategy questionnaire
- Event - Renegotiating the policy environment: Informing Service User and Carer Involvement Networks in the New World 29.11.10
For more information about how to get involved, please contact one of the coordinators.
