This framework outlines our approach to lived experience inclusion, developed in partnership with people with lived experience over the past five years. It details the principles and practices that we draw from and use as part of our commitment to lived experience inclusion, the concepts that have informed our ways of working, and our lessons and learnings from the journey so far.
We hope that others might benefit from hearing about this journey, as we know that there is a strong appetite to learn more and do better when it comes to engaging and partnering with people with lived experience in advocacy, co-design and systems change work.
Although we know that the voices, perspectives and knowledge of those with lived experience is essential to developing better and more contextualised solutions, there are few readily available practice examples about how to do participation well in the homelessness space. Our hope is that this framework adds to and strengthens the growing knowledge base.
Partnering with people with lived experience is more than amplifying their voices – “it is a political act that re-frames the balance of power and is part of a movement towards greater equity, rights and justice.”
– Amy Coopes
