Description:

In this resource we explain what involvement groups are and explore the different types; look at the five stages of setting up a group that you need to think about; and lay out our considerations for inclusive groups. We have found that our staff bring a huge diversity of strengths and skills into the workplace when they actively draw upon their lived experience. We hope that our learnings can help you to embrace the intrinsic value of lived experience in research. This is one of ten resources we’ve produced to celebrate ten years of the McPin Foundation.
