Lee-Ann Fenge (Professor of social care) and Andy Pulman (PDR in social care) submitted evidence to the House of Lords Adult Social Care Committee earlier in the year. The report has just been published with some of their evidence mentioned on page 79 as follows:

‘Research undertaken by the Centre for Seldom Heard Voices at Bournemouth University with a range of diverse communities illustrates how co-produced participatory research can lead to wider social impact and awareness of those that rely on social care—for example, the experiences of LGBTQ+ citizens, older male carers, young disabled people and homeless people. It is vital that social care practice and research work in partnership with individuals and communities to achieve best outcomes for those who require social care support’.
