Who is an expert by experience?

Our definition of someone with experience of using social care services includes:

  • people who are using services now or have done in the past
  • people who need services but haven't been offered them
  • people who need services but haven't been offered any that are appropriate
  • people living with or caring for a person who uses services.

We involve people who use services in our work and call them Experts by experience.
