Employment Resourcing and Interview Forum Group
This group of service users and carers are working with the Trusts Employment Service. The aim of the group is to develop an interview skills training programme to enable service users, carers and members to be included in interview panels for the recruitment of new members of Trust staff.
INVOLVEMENT IN COMMUNICATIONS
The Involvement Team, in partnership with the Communications Team, have set up an involvement communications group, for the involvement of service users and carers in all aspects of Trust communications. The aim of the group is to ensure that involvement opportunities are advertised in the most appropriate way to keep service users, carers, the public and staff informed. Members of the group will be able to help develop and improve key Trust communication materials.
The Positive Writing Group identifies and writes articles for the Trust Positive magazine on a regular basis. The aim of these stories is to highlight service user and carer involvement with the Trust and Trust membership.
