    What is Involvement?

    Involvement is a process in which staff, service users and/or carers work together to influence services. The process respects and blends both ‘lived’ experience and ‘professional’ experience; it places people at the heart of services, involving them from the outset in the commissioning, design, delivery and assessment of services.

    Involvement may happen at a number of levels:

    • Level 1 – Involved in agreeing support/care plan with Social Worker and your relative
    • Level 2 – Involved in evaluating services
    • Level 3 – Involved in developing services
    • Level 4 – Setting priorities and allocating resources for the future at service directorate level
    • Level 5 – Commissioning and policy development at organisational or regional level
