Users and Carers - Introduction
Since the Council was established in 2001, User and Carer Reference Groups have been supported to provide a user and carer perspective on the development of registration, regulation and training for the social care workforce. The NISCC Participation Group is taking the work of these reference groups to a new level; taking forward and further developing the Council’s user and carer agenda and addressing the recommendations of the ‘Looking out from the Middle’ research into effective user involvement which was undertaken by the Queen’s University Belfast in 2008. The Participation Group will assess how the NISCC engages with users and carers and then it will develop principles and standards to encourage the development of best practice. The group meets every two months, with the aim of meeting quarterly when it is fully established. Updates on our progress will be posted in the Our Work section of the site and in the NISCC Newsletter
