Co-production and family involvement

Working with people with lived experience and in partnership with other organisations is central to our work. Our national NHS England team employs people with a learning disability, autistic people, family carers and bereaved family carers to ensure that every aspect of our work is directly informed by their insight.

An independent advisory group is integral to LeDeR. This steers our action from learning work and includes people with a learning disability, parents and other family members, and a representative from each of the organisations listed in Appendix 1.

We are also guided by our academic partnership, comprising representatives from King’s College London, University of Central Lancashire, Kingston University and St George’s, University of London. They produced the 2021 LeDeR Annual Report which included an accessible, film version of the 2021 report.

They have produced the LeDeR Annual Report 2022. Report, film and easyread version of the annual report will all be at https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/leder
