Our Lived Experience Services

Good governance is more than mere compliance with legislation – it spans many areas of a charity or impact organisation’s activities, which all contribute towards the establishment of a well governed, effective, inclusive and transparent entity.

At Social Practice ENT, we provide expert led workshops and consultancy services that help our clients work towards achieving strong governance systems.

Lived Experience Trustees: Board Training (2 hours)

Our lived experience trustees workshop was designed following research which was conducted with existing and prospective trustees that have lived experience of the criminal justice system. Our workshops are geared towards the needs of charities looking to recruit trustees with lived expertise - specifically, charities that require support with the adjustments that may need to be made to ensure that lived experience trustees are recruited and included in an equitable manner.

Our training includes:

How to develop an inclusive trustee recruitment pack;
How to ensure that the recruitment process remains equitable, including short listing processes and interviewing panels;
How to create an inclusive board and organisational culture; and,
How to break down the barriers that trustees with lived experience may encounter.

As a registered social enterprise, we're participating in Social Enterprise UK's flagship campaign, 'Buy Social'.

Buying social is about using your money, as an individual or an organisation, to create a positive impact on the world we live in. When you buy from a social enterprise you are choosing to spend your money with a business that is giving something back, reinvesting their profits to address the most pressing issues, from homelessness and unemployment to ethical trade and climate change.
