About this network
The network includes adult social care mental health leads and Approved Mental Health professionals from each of our 14 councils.
The Network meets bi-monthly to support the West Midlands Improvement Programme providing information, improvement and best practice sharing for activists across the region. It aims to:
- plan and deliver better and more joined-up health and social care across the region
- better engage people with lived experience and local communities in reviewing and designing services
The Network is sponsored by Kerrie Alward, director of adult services, Walsall Council, co-chaired by Amanda Allcock, service manager: learning disability, mental health, autism at Shropshire Council and Darryl Phillipowsky, Head of Adult Mental Health, Dudley Council and supported by Mark Godfrey, WM ADASS.
