Turning Point Scotland has recently published a booklet called ‘Alison’s Story’ which tells the story of Alison and her experience of recovery with particular emphasis on her involvement with Turning Point to help recruit the right staff to work with her. It details her involvement in the recruitment process from making up the advert to being part of the interview panel. Tracy Lundie, Service Manager for Midway Services said: "We supported Alison to write her story and organised for a front cover to be designed. Alison's main aim was to let as many service users know that they have a voice, and the importance of using it. The story showed practically how service users can be involved in staff recruitment in a successful and positive manner." In the story Alison says: “I think it is so much better for service users to be involved in the interview process, asking questions, giving feedback having a voice etc. I have more control as Turning Point Scotland is involving me in the process.” View / download Alison’s Story (PDF).

| Evaluating Recovery in Practice Training |
16 Jul Last year we commissioned Health in Mind and Penumbra to deliver a new training course, aimed at people who worked in the voluntary sector, called Recovery in Practice. Given the nature of this new course we were keen to learn more about how well it had worked so we commissioned an independent evaluation of the training, led by Jacki Gordon + Associates and we are now delighted to publish the findings. |
