Social Inclusion
There have been some interesting and thought-provoking presentations happening as part of the network. Social Inclusion has been an important topic – Mark Bertram, Head of Vocational Support (SLaM) shared the report Intergrating vocational and peer support: an exploration – VIP, at one event. Meanwhile, peer supporter Manju Rajput built on this when she led on Social Inclusion at the following meeting.

The word from both events was that these days were powerful because there was a good presence of service users and peer supporters. “The report and findings were warmly received and people could relate strongly to it. People shared some moving personal experiences,” says Mark. “I enjoyed it a lot- good authentic work.”
