ImROC’s Principles of Practice
ImROC’s principles of practice are: held within five coproduced principles that underpin all aspects of the work of ImROC. These are:
Bringing together, individuals, families, communities and service systems to work co-productively to identify the barriers to Recovery and Living Well and find ways of overcoming these.
Facilitating different relationships between health care and social care providers and those who they serve (local citizens, people who use services, families, community resources and groups) so that all expertise and experience is valued. Everyone’s contribution is important.
Building Recovery focused approaches, ways of working that appreciate and build on resources and strengths to inspire hope and belief in possibilities; grow power through learning together so that everyone has more control over their own conditions, treatment and whole lives. And since lives are fully enjoyed in communities, we seek to support people to access opportunities and prioritise the development of roles relationships and activities in communities, in their broadest sense.
Working across ‘places’ engaging with local community groups, including those that are hardest to reach, with health and social care services, assets and resources to build their confidence, capability and capacity to be fully inclusive. Actively seeking the views of people who find services hard to engage with and learning from them.
Working individually and collectively to decrease material and social disadvantage.
