Oxfordshire DAAT recognises that effective user involvement informs commissioning processes and improves treatment provision and outcomes for individuals. OVERVIEWBetween 2002 and 2005 Oxfordshire DAAT employed a User Involvement Co-ordinator to promote and develop user involvement in Oxfordshire's drug treatment system. This development post has now ended as user involvement has become embedded in Oxfordshire DAAT's planning and review processes, and is required of drug treatment and criminal justice providers as part of service level agreements and contracts. Oxfordshire DAAT supports Oxfordshire User Team (OUT) in representing drug users in local decision making and promoting harm reduction. It also supports services in developing user involvement mechanisms and other related user groups. User involvement is central to the National Treatment Agency's treatment effectiveness agenda, and D(A)ATs are required to evidence user involvement in annual treatment plans. Oxfordshire DAAT strives to advance user involvement on three levels:
Oxfordshire DAAT has a three year User Involvement Strategy (2006-9). All provider agencies accessed by drug users and their carers have a responsibility to involve users in the planning and evaluation of their services. The strategy and action plan sets out progress to date and priorities for the next 3 years, identifying key aims and 6 strategic objectives. KEY AIMS
