Webinar on using lived experience to influence service provision

1 hour

I have questioned whether we have consulted enough with people with lived experience in the design and delivery of our services. This webinar was delivered by an expert with lived experience, who is an expert in the field.

I have discussed with colleagues how to involve the views of people with lived experience into the service we provide and we have come up with an action plan

 Make sure the action plan is reviewed regularly
