Policy

National Voices is the largest umbrella organisation in England supporting third sector health and social care organisations. National Voices aim is to ensure that our members' voices are heard by those in government charged with designing, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating policies that affect people using health and social care services. National Voices do this by informing, advising and supporting our members on policy developments, as well as influencing the wider debates through lobbying and campaigning activities. National Voices policy objectives are shaped by our members, and we work in close partnership with governmental and non-governmental bodies.

National Voices key objective is to ensure that service users and carers receive the best services possible. To acheive this we work with our members to raise their issues at the national level and ensure that they are fully engaged in all relevant consultation and review exercises.

Specifically:

• Producing briefings for members on key issues and policy areas 
• Providing written and oral evidence to consultation exercises being undertaken by government and governmental bodies
• Developing campaigns to high-light cross-cutting issues
