One of the main aims of the Supporting People team is to give tenants and service users more influence over their support services, so that in the long term, we are better able to meet people's needs. This means that support providers and the Supporting People team will involve people like you. We are interested in knowing:·
- What type and level of support you need ·
- How effective current services are ·
- What gaps there are in services ·
- How good is the quality of the service? ·
- How can services be improved?
By telling us what you think, you can play an important part in improving and planning services.
You may have already been asked to give your views when your service went through the review process. To find out how your service will be appraised in the future have a look at the contracts section of the provider area.
