Do you think Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership (AWP: the NHS organisation that provides many mental health services in Swindon) are fair and equal? The Equality Act 2010 requires organisations to take into account nine „protected characteristics‟ of age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnership and pregnancy and maternity.
To see how they are doing AWP will be measuring themselves against a set of indicators to identify how they currently rate and where they can improve. And they need your help. If you consider yourself to be a part of one of the groups above (and lets face it: most of us fit into at least one!) and would like to comment on your experiences then why not go along to meetings in November?
They have planned two meetings on Monday 14 November 10am - 2pm (venue to be confirmed - sandwich lunch provided) and then a follow-up meeting on Monday 28 November 10am - 12noon, Conference Room, Jenner House, Chippenham. If you would like to go please let the LINk support team know as soon as possible (contact details below).
