The Idea

We are our own experts

Need to incorporate LE from outset – before project submissions for ethics / funding etc – LE can act as the litmus test as to whether this is relevant to community needs etc. Have a ‘pool’ of Lived and Living Experience people – who can be called on for interest in differing projects etc. Create and share more real LE stories and by real – I mean that not all stories have an acceptable outcome by political etc standards, we cannot always be ‘ good news bears’. But we can learn from these stories – what worked, what didn’t work. Focusing on the strengths of peoples stories that have come from their situation. “The ultimate truth of who you are in not…I am this or I am that, BUT I AM (Eckhart Tolle) and this can be applied to systems, policies, research etc.
