• Advice and guidance on how to actively involve young people in service commissioning, design and delivery;

• Advice on the development of new projects for young people with mental health problems focusing on the vital importance of patient feedback;

VIK in the East of England

The project is currently working with a number of service providers in the region, including Norfolk and Waveney Mental Health Trust, North Essex Partnership Trust and Hertfordshire Partnership Foundation Trust. Work has included embedding participation across services, establishing routes for young people’s voices to be heard in service design, and supporting ‘You’re Welcome’ assessments.
