About the talks
Dr. Sadie Rodell, Katie Wren & Lucy Carr – Engaging Young Voices: Enhancing Quality through Co-Production with Young People
This talk will explore the co-development of a Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) framework and a Neurodiversity-Affirmative Language Guide created at the Young People’s Mental Health Research Centre within Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust. We will discuss the significance of these co-produced resources in fostering meaningful participation and inclusivity for young people, particularly those from marginalised groups whose voices are often overlooked.
At the heart of our discussion is the value of the PPIE framework as a dynamic and live document that evolves through collaboration, ensuring that the perspectives of young people are effectively integrated into research and service development. We will highlight the co-produced neurodiversity-affirmative language guide, underscoring the critical role language plays in shaping positive interactions and experiences for neurodivergent individuals. Attendees will hear from the young people who contributed to the development of these resources, sharing their insights and experiences throughout the process and offering their advice for future PPIE initiatives.
Additionally, we will draw parallels between our work and the Co-production guide developed by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and signpost resources designed to enhance the confidence of professionals and researchers in engaging young people and families within PPIE initiatives.
By equipping people with practical tools and insights, we aim to promote greater inclusion of young people and families in mental health research and services, ultimately leading to improved outcomes and a more inclusive landscape.
