Duncan’s NSUN Blog: From Involvement To Accountability: Why Lived Experience Must Hold Power

What does meaningful lived experience involvement really look like?

Too often, people with lived experience are invited into conversations without being given the power to influence what happens next. True co-production goes beyond being heard. It means sharing power, shaping decisions and creating accountability for the organisations and systems we work with.

In Duncan's blog for NSUN, he explores why lived experience must move beyond involvement and towards genuine accountability.

Reflecting on the growing recognition of lived experience across health and social care, he asks an important question: who is really holding power, and who is being held accountable?

It is a thoughtful read that challenges us all to think more deeply about how we work alongside people with lived experience and what meaningful co-production should look like in practice.
