If we want to hear #LivedExperience voices, we need to support and facilitate them to be able to say everything they want and need to say.

#StormEowyn means my usual support can't come & services are closed. For many #Disabled people the next 2 days will be scary, lonely & hard. Support & medical staff are risking themselves to get to people. Check in on each other & don't take risks that make it harder for essential services!

“The Nationality and Borders Act entrenches a culture of suspicion, particularly for LGBTQI+ cases, both in interviews and in decisions, with the unfettered influence of preconceived and often Western-centric notions of LGBTQI+ experiences.” The UK must scrap hostile immigration bureaucracies. 🌈🎓

Who hasn’t been innocently hanging out at the inauguration of a man dubbed by people in his own party as the next Hitler and accidentally performed a Nazi salute that could only be more blatant if it was accompanied by a tiny finger moustache? thedailytism.com/the-autistic...

Yet another example of how harmful it can be when we fail to listen to the voices of #LivedExpertise This includes young people.

This is the crux of #LivedExperienceLeadership for me. It's perfectly legitimate to be advocating for yourself, but true #LexLeadership means advocating for and listening to a full diversity of #LexVoices

Another example of why it's important to listen to a diversity of #LivedExperience as one voice can never represent the diversity of experiences in any community

So often #LivedExperienceVoices are excluded from research because of communication barriers. If you aren't hearing from ALL #LexVoices directly, you will be missing vital #LivedExpertise

Listening to #LivedExperienceVoices doesn't just mean those deemed acceptable to mainstream society. Everyone deserves a voice, and deserves to have their #LivedExpertise valued. This includes prison experienced people, who are far more likely to have experienced other marginalisations too!
