4. Our way of working
• We are called The Confirm and Challenge group
• We work together to make transforming Care
real for the citizens of the North East and North
Cumbria
• We include people who are in hospital, in
secure services, in the community, including
families and carer’s
• We try and keep up to date with what work is
happening and how this is affecting people’s
lives
• We say what we think is working and not
working, and tell the bosses this, over and over
and over again if this is needed

5. So why involve people, when…..
It is hard to
include people
It takes much
longer
Professionals have
people’s best
interests at heart
need to do it fast
don’t know how to
do it very it well
we think it is
cheaper
People may not
understand
Its stressful for
people and they
can’t cope with it

11. Working together
We are trying to change the way
CTR’s work in our area
We are checking if people have good
lives not just different lives
We are helping people think about
being citizens and what this means
People’s confidence have grown and
they can speak up for their rights
We have helped people have a say in
what transforming care means locally
We make sure that people and
families voice is at the table
We challenge when things are not
right

12. What we would like
people to remember
• Professional don’t always get it right, even
when they are trying hard
• People know what they want in life
• People can take control and make decisions
• Helping doesn’t mean controlling people
• People have ideas and solutions that
professionals wouldn’t even think about
• Peoples lives might have been very different
to yours, it might be hard for professionals
to see what can work for them.
