Members of Torbay Voice have produced the Guide to involving clients in their services, Involvement Triangle and the self assessment questionnaire:
- The guide to involving clients in their services is a guide for staff on how to involve vulnerable people in all aspects of their services.
- The Involvement Triange is a way for support workers and clients to measure the involvement of clients in their service and with the Supporting People Team. It is measured against how involved they wish to be. It is a clear way to show progress made.
- The self assessment questionnaire asks clients how involved they want to be in the planning and development of Supporting People services. 200 of these have already been sent out in Torbay and have provided interesting information
All these documents are at the bottom of the page along with others about client involvement and Torbay Voice in particular. This will give you further information.
