ENGAGMENT PROJECT FOR THE COMMUNITY COUNCIL OF STAFFORDSHIRE

Published on Monday 22 Mar 2010 by Staffordshire Rural Hub

During the next 6 months the Community Council of Staffordshire will be undertaking, on behalf of, and in liaison with Staffordshire Local Involvement Network (LINK), a county wide community engagement. This will be a focused consultation programme with existing networks, groups and individuals in order to ascertain people’s views, concerns and experiences of health and social care services throughout the county and to find out how people believe these might be improved or changed to benefit their communities.

In order to gather views and raise awareness of the Local Involvement Network we are keen to talk to as many groups or individuals as possible. Chris Welch, Chief Executive of the Community Council of Staffordshire said “Clearly it is a challenging task to contact so many people in Staffordshire but it is one which the Community Council feels will be worthwhile in adding value to the work of Staffordshire’s LINK. We will be collating a comprehensive cross section of opinions and experiences so that the Local Involvement Network will be able to move forward resulting in positive improvements in health and social care services in Staffordshire”. If you are keen to give us your thoughts or experiences or invite us to some of your group meetings please contact the Community Council of Staffordshire on 01785 242525 alternatively email communitycouncil@staffs.org.uk
