We also recommend:

The 4PI National Standards, developed by the National Survivor User Network (NSUN), in the UK. These are standards for good practice and to measure, monitor and evaluate involvement, which consist of: * Principles * Purpose * Presence * Process * Impact (see: http://www.nsun.org.uk/assets/downloadableFiles/4pi.-ni-standards-for-web.pdf)

Most of these services and practices are user-led and not only provide help to people in need, but they also serve as a tool for empowerment of user groups and contribute to their meaningful inclusion in the community.
