User involvement in supported housing: More than just ticking the box

Abstract

Service users' involvement was one of the supplementary objectives in the Supporting People monitoring framework. This article looks at what it might mean in practice. In common with other providers of support services, Southern Focus Trust has seized the opportunity presented by the framework to review its policy and practices. The report produced, Sharing the Driving, describes the progress made by a major regional provider, with some lessons that may be of wider value.
