People Power, Making our voices heard

As part of the “people power” initiative being supported by the National Lottery we now have a people finder page for event organisers, publication editors, news media and others to connect with a diverse range of people who draw on long term heath and social care to live their lives.

 

The importance of equality, diversity, co producing and inclusion is finally getting some recognition and we know organisations are looking to build strong, diverse teams.

 

So No more excuses! “Imagine if a conference on gender inequality had no female speakers, it would be criticised and probably draw protests. Or an event about tackling racism, had only white experts, rightly it would lack all credibility.” Anna Severwright

 

How many policies, events and decisions are made in health and social care without the people who draw upon it?

So let’s hear from people who draw on health and social care and let’s ensure we hear and learn from their direct knowledge, opinions and experience.

you will find a growing network of people with extensive experience who draw on health and social care and are willing to share their opinions, topical views, expertise and experiences at events, conferences, Board/strategy meetings, publications and with media.

 

If you need to speak to someone about finding the right person for you to hear from  please contact admin@in-control.org.uk and we can discuss options.

 

If you are a person with lived experience drawing on health and/or social care and  interested in joining our database of speakers and contributors please contact admin@in-control.org.uk for further details
