This policy paper aims to identify and analyse organisations comprising adults who are users of mental health services across England. No systematic attempt has been made until now to find out the extent and scope of the mental health service user/survivor movement, nor how far it represents the wider constituency of service users and survivors, including those from minority ethnic groups. A postal survey was conducted of all local mental health user groups in England. In all, 318 user groups responded to this survey and 25 were interviewed in depth. National leaders of the movement were also interviewed. Much of the research was carried out by users themselves.

This small-scale study aims to provide a benchmark of how practice is progressing across the 83 HEIs in England which offer the social work degree, and to support the development of guidance for social work educators.

This study aimed to consult all relevant stakeholder groups to establish research priorities for developing 'patient-centred' mental health services in the UK. Over 1,000 stakeholders were consulted, including service users, carers and mental health professionals. The consultation identified 12 thematic areas requiring further research. These should be prioritised if services are to become more centred on the needs and aspirations of the people who use them.
