Carr Gomm’s National Involvement Group
Carr Gomm’s National Involvement Group is a network of people supported by Carr Gomm, who contribute to the strategic direction of the organisation and who influence change affecting the social care sector. They are part of Carr Gomm’s commitment to amplify the voices of people who we support; so they can influence good change in Carr Gomm and in social care across Scotland. They have contributed to Carr Gomm’s Strategic Plan, the Independent Review of Adult Social Care and, lately, discussions and consultations on the National Care Service.
