Survivor Involvement Project
About the
Survivor Involvement Project
Imagine setting up a business and never carrying out any market
research. Imagine if you never listened to customer feedback. You
wouldn't be surprised to find such a business going bust - but such
blinkered thinking is still all too common in the statutory and
sometimes even the voluntary sector.
AVA believes that survivors are the
experts in what responses are helpful, what services are needed and
how they should be provided. As such, some kind of survivor
involvement is not just a quirky extra but an essential element of
service design and planning. This section brings together a range
of guidance, ideas and publications relating to survivor
involvement from ensuring their inclusion in general consultations
to co-production of services to setting up survivor scrutiny
panels.
