HELP FOR USER LED ORGANISATIONS (ULO's)

Choices and Rights have been working with the Department of Health and other organisations to develop more User Led Organisations (ULO's) across the country. As part of the project, we have developed a number of policies, procedures and fact sheets that you may find helpful to help your organisation. These include amongst others, Development Worker Job Description, Different Models for ULO's, Memorandum and Articles of Association, Code of Conduct for Trustees, etc. If you would like any copies of these (or other documents that may be useful to you), please email our office at: office@chociesandrights.org.uk and we will be happy to help.
