Forum members are working with the Centre for Mental Health on their COCOA (Continuity of Care: Offender Access) Project

Some National Service User Forum and Young People's Forum members are members of a new Service User Advisory Panel which will discuss and advise on the implementation of the government's strategy on mental health in the criminal justice system. The Service User Advisory Panel has been set up in collaboration with Rethink and Together and members will feed into the work of the Health and Criminal Justice Programme Board and National Advisory Group.

Forum members have participated in photo-film training provided by Duck Rabbit. The photo-films they made can be seen here. They have also undertaken training in how to produce video films. The training was provided by Bob Walters an accreditted BBC trainer. The films can be seen here. Forum members will use their new skills to be creative in conveying their experiences and views. They are available to undertake commissioned work for other organisations who wish to use video and photography in their campaigns and publicity.
