Members of the National Involvement Network (NIN) have been working with ARC Scotland and Evaluation Support Scotland to evaluate what difference the Charter for Involvement has made to peoples lives. They have produced an interim report.
Results
The report gives results of questionnaires sent to CEO’s and other senior staff about what difference they think the Charter has made.
- Our evidence shows that the Charter is making a difference
- Some organisations had good levels of involvement before the Charter.
- But we can see signs that the Charter could help them improve practice in future.
- At least 1750 people who use services have been affected by the Charter.
- The Charter can be improved by getting wider national recognition, and by checking in with people who use services to see what they think.

Next Step
The next step for NIN members is to meet with people who use services to find out what difference they think the Charter has made to them. The final report will be ready in May. For more information please contact ARC Scotland.
