Editor Avril Nicoll introduces this new series by explaining her very personal reason for wanting to see the user involvement aspiration put into practice. Mariela Angulo and Amy Wolfenden then describe a user involvement project to evaluate the services provided by speech and language therapists working in children’s centres in Bradford. They explain how they gained the views of children, children’s centre staff and teachers, parents and carers, and speech and language therapists. Finally they reflect on the difference this has made to their practice and to the service as a whole.
