The Wales Mental Health and Wellbeing Forum was commissioned by Welsh Government to lay out standards for best practice in engagement and co-production.
This guidance lays out the ambition to increase opportunities for the mental health service users and carers of Wales to be able to take part in engagement activities at a range of levels as appropriate to their preference, commitment, experience and capability (with support). The ultimate aim is to see the co-production of all Mental Health Services, strategies and policies.
This guidance applies to all who work with service users and carers to make decisions in relation to mental health care. This includes all organisations, agencies and partnerships which either deliver services directly or which influence them.
