| Annotation | The positive contribution that service users can make to social care planning and development is now recognised in government policy. Service users are taking an active role in efforts to improve health and social care services. The question is, have social care services changed as a result of service user participation? This SCIE Position paper brings together the key themes and findings from six Knowledge reviews examining the impact of user participation on change and improvement in social care services. It also includes an example in practice, the Wiltshire and Swindon User Network (WSUN). The aim is to give an overview or synthesis of these reviews, in order to provide an analysis of what is currently known about the topic; and also to provide the basis for SCIE Practice guides on service user participation.
