The decision was taken at the Strategic Involvement Group meeting on 3rd November 2021 to ‘pause’ the LIG meetings in order to facilitate an Evaluation of the Involvement process to date.
The Evaluation is expected to begin in January 2022 and end in March 2022 and will seek to identify successes and challenges of the process and to provide recommendations which will strengthen our Involvement Model.
An Evaluation Steering Group, which will include a Carer representative, will oversee the progress of the Evaluation.
Group members can expect to be contacted in January by the successful evaluator in order to arrange a series of one-to-one interviews and focus groups and we would encourage members to engage with this process.
In the meantime, we would like to reassure members that programmes and events will continue to be co-ordinated by the Involvement Team.
We expect that all LIG and SIG members will come together again in early April for a presentation of the Evaluation findings.
