Ladder of Participation

The Ladder of Participation is a model that can be used to examine where you are in terms of service user involvement now and where you want to be in the future:

FULL CONTROL: Service users control decision making at the highest level.
SHARING POWER: Service users share decisions and responsibility, influencing and determining outcomes.
PARTICIPATION: Service users can make suggestions and influence outcomes.
CONSULTATION: Service users are asked what they think but have limited influence.
INFORMATION: Services users are told what is happening but have no influence.
NO CONTROL: Service users are passive consumers.
