Stakeholder Advisory Network

Inverclyde Community Care Forum is further developing a Stakeholder Advisory Network to ensure participation and involvement with the widest possible range of local people.

As part of the Stakeholder Advisory Network you can directly influence local service development by having your voice heard.

Through the network we will keep you up to date on local and national changes using Plain English/jargon free communication through our Newsletters, Open Meeting, and Consultation/Participation events.

The purpose of the network is not to replace existing groups, but to strengthen their voice in influencing the planning, design, and delivery of local services. This will be done by gathering issues and concerns, and working as a collective.

The Network has a direct link and a commitment from the decision makers in both Health and the Local Authority.

Current members are from all walks of life and would welcome your involvement. If you would like to get involved just get in touch.
