Learning Disability, Autism and Neurodiversity Bill - Lived Experience Advisory Panel: recruitment information

What you can expect from us

• Organisation of meetings and provision of any material relevant to those meetings two weeks in advance;
• Arrangement and facilitation of any adjustment that you may need in order to involve yourself in the panel, such as accessible materials, interpreters, etc;
• Payment for your time. Whilst we cannot yet confirm a figure on this, we expect payment to be in the range of £75 and £150per meeting.

We want to support you to take part so we will not ask you to talk about anything you are uncomfortable with or to talk about personal experiences unless you want to and feel it is relevant.

You don't have to have any special skills to be involved except to feel comfortable taking part in group meetings with the appropriate support.

We are interested in your knowledge from your own experiences as a neurodivergent person. If you have particular views on, for example, health and social care support or other experiences, you may find the panel a good way to contribute, discussing matters with a range of people from diverse backgrounds. We are also very interested in involvement from people who identify with groups that it can be more difficult to connect with including people who identify as LGBTQ+ and ethnic minority communities.
