Lived experiences: What made or would have made a difference to me when growing up?

Abstract We sometimes forget the people behind the numbers and those affected by our research. The video on lived experiences aims to put a human face on childhood social care ahead of the panel and audience discussion. Rather than asking care experienced people specifically about their health, which people may find intrusive or even irrelevant for their experience, we will seek to understand what did or would have made a difference to their lives. Dr. Allik, who has led and facilitated a number of knowledge exchange and engagement activities related to childhood social care, will take the responsibility of organising the collection different video recordings on lived experienced of childhood social care. We will work in collaboration with already existing organisations that advocate for (care experienced) children’s rights to produce the video. Dr. Allik will also be supported by the knowledge exchange team at the UofG, including choosing the appropriate methods of seeking recordings, compiling, and curating the video.
