BADAS and the Safer Wiltshire Partnership now employs a Service User Development Worker…
A brief description of the role of this worker……
“I began working with BADAS in November last year with the role of continuing to develop Service Users and Carers in the planning, delivery, and monitoring of Drug Treatment Services in Wiltshire. This role is supportive of the work that has already been achieved by WUF (Wiltshire Users Forum ).
The next year could prove very exiting as BADAS have a committed policy in the importance of Service User feedback. The job of professionalising WUF, administrating and enhancing their work, along with fundraising and informing local media as to developments is all part of the workplan”.
Wiltshire Users Forum
Founded in June 1985, With a clear aim .... "To challenge ineffective treatment".
It holds Forums every 2 months in Trowbridge, and has started a day project every Wednesday offering Advocacy. Two Service Users have been trained by the Alliance to attend this and 2 fully qualified Acupuncturists also attend.
The Service User Representatives now sit on, and influence, all of the strategic groups in the planning of drug treatment services in Wiltshire.
The mission statement ......
"TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIVES OF PEOPLE IN DRUG TREATMENT”.
