Charter for Involvement

The Charter is unique in Scotland as it has been written and developed by people who receive support to make involvement better for everyone.

In 12 statements, it sets out how people want to be involved in the support that they get, in the organisations that provide their services and in the wider community.

Aim

The aim of the Charter is for people who receive support to be more listened to and respected. Signing up to the Charter will help organisations to put their values into practice and to put people at the centre of everything they do.
