About Us

Our aim is to ensure our service users and staff are encouraged and enabled to be the best they can be. By providing a platform for encouraging healthy relationships in all aspects of life and creating a sense of belonging within the Inclusion Group and within communities we ensure that everyone at the Inclusion Group is treated with dignity, respect and the right to privacy.

Our Aims

We redefined our vision for the Inclusion Group in 2018 in consultation with our service users, their carers, our staff group and a range of other stakeholders. We set out the kind of life we want for people in our vision.

Our vision is for a world where people:-

• have opportunities for choice, involvement and independence;
• receive the highest standard of support to achieve their goals and enjoy life;
• are treated with dignity, respect and positivity;
• are equal, included and safe.

In working to achieve this vision we believe in:

• enabling  service users to be the best they can be – happy, safe, fulfilled, independent and having their voices heard;
• striving  to provide the best, individually agreed service to increase choice, control and personal fulfilment;
• providing  a platform for encouraging healthy relationships in all aspects of life and creating a sense of belonging, within the Inclusion Group and in communities; and
• ensuring  everyone at the Inclusion Group is treated with dignity, respect and has the right to privacy.

We will do this by:

Ensuring that activities and support offered are tailored to the individual needs of each person; we consider what opportunities are available and encourage individuals to try a range of experiences to allow them to make choices. We also support service users to participate in mainstream activities whilst accessing community facilities such as swimming, gym, libraries, and social outings to places of interest. This information is then transferred into an activity timetable for each individual service user.
