Reviews

Criticisms of previous involvement strategies include the feeling that the process has long been tokenistic and bureaucratic and has had little impact on either service delivery or the outcomes for individuals. As such, this book is a welcome addition to the thinking and evidence-base for ensuring service users and groups can influence policy and practice. -- Social Work Matters
