Waltham Forest Engage Resident Group

Our residents' group, Waltham Forest Engage, meets once a month. This is a group for people who either have experience receiving social care services in the borough, or have cared for someone who has.


Waltham Forest Engage is a group of people coming together to help make adult social care better. Over time, we've been proud to:

  • Help make language simpler by reviewing documents shared with residents.
  • Create Easy Read guides, forms, and plans together, so that information is accessible to everyone.
  • Hold resident interview panels as part of recruiting adult social care staff.
  • Take part in a CQC inspection and a peer review to share our honest experiences.
  • Speak directly with senior leaders at the council.
  • Have a say in choosing which services get funded and provided.


We're always looking for new ways to make sure people who use social care services have a genuine voice in how those services are run. The members in our group are able to choose what they get involved in and they are reimbursed for their time.

Are you interested in joining? Please fill in our Expression of Interest form, and we will get back to you.
