  4) Psychosis CAG - Consult with service user and carer groups on the Psychosis CAG vision and business plan.

For members of the involvement register. This will mean: digesting the key messages in the business plan, communicating these with the group (alongside providing actual copies to group members), enabling people to feed back through employing focus group facilitation skills, writing up findings and perhaps presenting to the Psychosis CAG executive Committee (this will be optional). approx 10 - 15 hours over 1 month at £15 per hour . It is important that anyone interested has skills in facilitating and presenting materials to groups. I will work closely and support you in carrying out this work - I don’t expect you to already have a compete understanding of business plans and strategy - what we really need are the people skills!
