“…A follow up to paper 29, published after the cut-off date (Simons et al 2007) reported that the post was not well integrated in the team in terms of normal educational activities and processes. Some of the educators demonstrated resistance to the post and it was concluded that strategies to avoid stigmatisation and discrimination were not always effective.…”

“…We recognise that terms such as service user, patient, carer or experts by experience will include people who are also students; practitioners, academics and professionals; people of many skills and backgrounds and multiple roles and identities. We seek to involve a wide range of people in many different ways, to reflect this diversity and to address the need identified in the literature to involve seldom heard voices (Duffy, 2013) and to explore different models and strategies to avoid tokenism (Simons, Tee, Lathlean, Burgess, Herbert and Gibson, 2007). The types of involvement which students and graduates were asked to reflect on in this study therefore were diverse.…”

What difference does it make? Findings of an impact study of service user and carer involvement on social work students’ subsequent practice

What difference does it make? Findings of an impact study of service user and carer involvement on social work students' subsequent practice This paper reports on a study which followed up a group of social work students to explore whether service user involvement in their education made any difference to their practice and whether there were different models or types of involvement which had a more significant impact than others. The findings showed that the impact was individual to each student. It was often specific encounters or 'light bulb moments' which led to increased awareness or insight into their own practice particularly when encountering similar situations or when pressures of practice led to them losing sight of service user perspectives. The paper shares these findings and considers the learning for educators in developing models of involvement which enhance impact on subsequent practice.

A socially inclusive approach to user participation in higher education

Abstract: The search for an optimum model of involvement may prove elusive, but the need to research and debate different strategies, to avoid tokenism and exploitation, remains.
