This session will provide an introduction to the key aspects of effective engagement with service users.

We will first explore the benefits of service user engagement, before discussing who exactly our services users are.

We will then look at some quick and easy ways to recruit service users for engagement, before sharing a diverse range of tools to help you understand what your service users think and feel.
