World Class Commissioning aims to link to community needs but the mental health client group is notorious for not being involved in the set up of new services. At the same time the personalisation agenda says that people should be involved more than ever with the services/care they receive. A similar toolkit for this sector would be very relevant.

RSL = Registered Social Landlords. I'd not thought of that - but great idea... What might be the best approach to RSLs? I could put together a flyer for them to pass to clients? Or encourage them to use the toolkit.... How would you usually get in touch with local RSLs for something like this? Ah. RSL = Registered Social Landlords.
