We Value Your Lived Experience

Get Involved Using Your Lived Experience

We are always looking to hear from people with lived experience of neurodivergence (such as ADHD or autism) and/or mental health needs who would like to help shape and improve our services.

By sharing your insights, you can help us better understand what works well, what could be improved, and how our services are experienced by the people who use them.

What Getting Involved Might Include

Opportunities to get involved may vary over time and could include:

• Sharing feedback on services or care pathways
• Helping review or improve patient information and resources
• Supporting service development or improvement work
• Contributing to recruitment or interview panels
• Taking part in focus groups, workshops, or surveys

You will always be given clear information about what any activity involves before deciding whether to take part.

Your Choice, Your Involvement

There is no obligation or commitment to take part in any activity.

• Being on our lived experience contact list does not mean you have to participate
• You can choose whether or not to take part each time you are invited
• You can change your preferences or withdraw at any time by contacting us on 01743 297 937 or via email here

We value involvement that feels safe, supportive, and manageable for you.

While we value every expression of interest, we may not always be able to contact or involve everyone who signs up.

Opportunities to get involved will depend on the type of activity, timing, and specific requirements. Where involvement does take place, it will always be planned to be fair and meaningful.

How We Will Use Your Information

If you choose to express an interest in getting involved, we will only use your details to:

• Contact you to discuss possible involvement opportunities
• Share information about relevant activities you may wish to take part in

Your details will be held securely in line with UK GDPR and information governance standards that conform to the NHS.

Because opportunities will vary, full details about how your information will be used will always be provided for each specific activity, and appropriate consent will be requested at the time.

You can ask to update or remove your details from our contact list at any time by contacting us on 01743 297 937 or via email here
