TRANSCRIPT
Stories offer huge potential to reveal what people reallyexperience from service providers and they can be an effective lever for change.
First hand accounts, in an individual’s own words, can be a uniquely powerful way of “hearing it like it is”.

storyworks 5 booklet 120 final 28/4/09 11:24 Page 4
All our work is underpinned by a genuine respect for the stories and the storytellers with whom we work.
There is still much work to be done to establish the most effective ways tocollect, analyse, present and use stories in different contexts and with differentaudiences. We are keen to explore new applications for stories, and new waysof drawing out their full value.
As a matter of routine, we evaluate what we do and feed that learning backinto our work.
