Meet The Involvement Team

Charlotte Byrne - Service Manager

Hello, My name is Charlotte and I have been working with the involvement network since 2020. I like to have fun and enjoy working with all our services across the region and looking to share best practice and collaborate to make positive changes.

Jo Harris - Involvement Lead

Hi I’m Jo and I have worked in the team for many years. I love working in this service as it is dynamic and the work we do changes regularly in our quest to support and challenge service improvement and development. I have lived experience as well as I trained to be a mental health nurse some time ago. I love working with the Network as it is a relational movement in itself, which allows collaborative learning opportunities – for everyone to bring and take different things away which means something personal to them.

Julianne Sidebottom - Involvement Lead
Yvonne Flynn - Manager & Involvement Lead at Humber

Hi there! My name is Yvonne and I have worked with and managed Jo and Holly since January 2014. I like Working with passionate and creative people who all aim to make the experience in secure care a good experience for all involved.  Hearing how involvement has helped improve the quality and standards of care makes me feel very proud and determined to continue the journey of improvement by involvement. Involvement can be both rewarding and at times very challenging; working with the network gives me the opportunity to work with likeminded people to improve services. The network gives me the opportunity to meet people from across the region, share new ideas, have fun, feel supported and inspired. “A diamond is a chunk of coal that did well under pressure.

Hi I'm Scott and I have been working for the Involvement network since 2023. I love working with services in order to promote all the good work they do and to bring together all the good ideas that are always realised in services. I enjoy working with different kinds of media and always look to introduce these into services.
