Here is Jill's campaign leaflet that was handed out at Surrey & Borders Board meeting . Click on images to view them in larger size . Please use it to continue to draw people's attention to this campaign as we have only achieved a temporary victory and we need to keep the pressure on the
Surrey & Borders Partnership NHS Trust.
Also if people have concerns about service users being pressganged into work through SABP's plans to modernise and externalise its work services make the case to SABP so that they have to address this while assessing peoples needs and circumstances, a process Fiona Edwards has just agreed to do, and insist that the roles and services need to be properly clarified, particularly where sites and resources are multi-purpose and shared.
This isnt rocket science.
There is no conflict between campaigning to get service users real jobs /training at at least national minimum wages and campaigning to ensure that service users who are unlikely to really benefit from employment and training provision get appropriate services too . SABP has a duty to do both these things adequately based on a proper assessment of each service users needs and circumstances and its our collective responsibility to ensure that they do this before the theoroughly discredited academics from the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health crawl out of their holes again and reassert their political agenda.
