Our approach
Empowering the voices of people with lived experience
We work to support and develop the skills and ambitions of our members with lived experience. We advocate for system level change led by the people who use services.
System design
We work to influence policy makers and officials and support people with lived experience and professionals to collaborate effectively. We excel in proposing and implementing alternative policies and designs.
Service delivery and operation
We work to make services more effective and encourage innovation. This includes changing attitudes and empowering the workforce to embrace new ways of working.
Prevention
We develop alternatives to the status quo, with identifying and tackling causes and risk factors at the core.
Social and political
We influence political and public discourse and challenge stereotypes and we create networks to influence practice.
