The Service Users' Council is an internal Trust committee established to enable service users and the Trust to work in partnership to develop and improve the services offered by the Trust.
Members of the council are either current service users or those who have received services within the last three years.
The Service Users' Council sets out a work programme each year which sees speakers attend meetings to give presentations on a variety of different topics, for example, the Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment team, the availability of psychological therapies and medication.
