This Research Findings paper is based on the evaluation of the Scottish Recovery Indicator (SRI) which was piloted in five health board areas in Scotland. The SRI enables services to examine whether individuals who use services and their carers’ needs are met in terms of their rights to equality, social inclusion and support to recover.

This evaluation is concerned with the Scottish Recovery Indicator (SRI). The SRI enables the assessment of whether and how organisations, and those who work in them, are ensuring that individuals who use their services and their carers’ needs are met in terms of their rights to equality, social inclusion and support to recover. The SRI data is collected from a range of sources, including: assessments and care plans, service information, policies and procedures and interviews with service providers and service users. The evaluation objectives are to assess the relevance and appropriateness of the tool to a variety of settings, identify what preparation organisations and individuals need before using the tool and how best the tool should be used, identify whether the tool may be able to measure changes in services and the potential for the use of SRI as a means of promoting change, and to assess whether service users and carers feel added benefit from being involved in the piloting of SRI. The evaluation explored and reviewed the developmental process of the SRI from the perspectives of all of the groups of individuals involved and included local pilot site group discussions, documentary analysis of a completed SRIs and interviews with SRI administrators, service-user and service-provider group participants, a review of any action planning documentation and focus groups with those involved in action planning/implementing change.

This study aimed to begin to support the development of an evidence base for mental health improvement through employment in Social Firms, by identifying potential indicators and ways of measuring mental health impacts. A brief literature review was undertaken of studies and publications, from peer reviewed and internet sources, relating to indicators for measuring mental health impacts of working in a Social Firm. Workshop discussions and interviews were held with Social Firms’ managers and service users working in Social Firms to inform the choice of indicators and tools.

The Mental Illness Specific Grant (MISG) was introduced under the NHS and Community Care Act 1990, providing from April 1991 revenue grant for the development of social care services for individual with mental health problems. This study was undertaken to review those projects funded under the MISG during the first three years of the grant. A two stage evaluation was conducted. The first stage, conducted in the spring of 1995, involved an initial mapping exercise of the projects which had been funded. The second stage involved a more detailed study of 40 MISG projects. The fieldwork for this main stage was conducted between autumn 1995 and summer 1996.

The need to adopt and promote a recovery-based approach to mental health support was described in ‘Delivering for Mental Health’ and later in ‘Towards a Mentally Flourishing Scotland’. In support of this, ‘Delivering for Mental Health’ included a commitment to support the development of the Peer Support Worker role within mental health services in Scotland. As a result pilot schemes were developed in five Health Board areas where Peer Support Workers were trained, and then employed, to fill new positions within NHS teams in a range of settings, including inpatient and community-based services. These new workers, who were required to have a lived experience of mental health issues, drew on a range of skills to share their lived experience with the intention of supporting others in their recovery journeys. An evaluation was commissioned to assess the impact of the peer support pilot on service users, peer support workers and the wider service system as well as assessing the process of implementation at national and local levels.

Towards a Mentally Flourishing Scotland: Policy and Action Plan 2009-2011 supports the promotion of the principles of recovery and the implementation of peer support. A pilot scheme of pioneering formalised peer support working was put in place in January 2008 in five Health Board areas (yielding six separate sites) and led nationally by the Scottish Government’s Mental Health Division in partnership with the Scottish Recovery Network. The overarching aims of the evaluation were to assess the impact of the peer support pilot on service users, peer support workers and the wider service system as well as assessing the process of implementation at national and local levels. Using mainly qualitative research techniques the evaluation tracked the process of implementation and the impact of the new peer support workers on the service teams and systems within which they worked. Service users were invited to participate in a satisfaction survey and in-depth qualitative interviews.
