Personalisation Service Users
WAVOCC have held an Advisory seat on the ULO Steering Group. All ULO Steering Group members are also WAVOCC members and in this way WAVOCC aim to be participants in the active involvement of citizens in local communities and the co-production VCS Personalisation services.
What is a ULO?
A ULO is an organisation that is run and controlled by people who use support services including disabled people, mental health service users, people with learning difficulties, older people, and their families and carers. (SCIE, 2009)
The Department of Health has produced 21 design criteria to describe what a ULO looks like and the sorts of services that it provides. A ULO does not have to fulfil all of the design criteria and, in reality, most do not but may well work with others to deliver services.
