AWP is a NHS trust - that is, we are part of the NHS family. As
such, we are accountable, via our commissioners, service users and
carers and ultimately to the Secretary of State for Health.
As a partnership trust, we also have important responsibilities
to work together at a local level with other public bodies, such as
local authorities; the police and the criminal justice system
including prisons; and also with the voluntary sector. This is to
ensure we provide a joined up service for the communities we
serve.
