Induction for New CSIP EmployeesAs a new member of staff working for CSIP, whatever your role, position, length of contract or work programme allegiance, service user and carer partnership will be central to the work you are involved in.
This section will help enable you to develop and maintain constructive partnership working relationships with:
• service users
• carers
• families
• colleagues
• lay people and wider community networks.
As someone working for, or with CSIP, the focus of the work with service users and their families and carers is the development of true and meaningful partnership working. It is essential that those people who use services are viewed as meaningful partners
in our work rather than passive recipients of involvement.In order to achieve this aim, CSIP staff are required to be assertive in their engagement with service users and carers, particularly those from more diverse and ‘hard to reach’ groups. Also participating in a manner that respects and values diversity, including age, race, culture, disability, gender, severity of condition, spirituality and sexuality.
If partnership working is to be a reality then your participation in the CSIP training and education programme ‘How to effectively involvement service users and carers’ is essential as soon as is possible after starting with CSIP. This training programme has been designed to provide a learning environment, where various issues around participation are explored and good practice promoted.
