Section outline

  • SUSUN greatly values the expertise of people who are experts by lived experience and the contribution you can make to social work education, professional practice, our social work programmes and research activity. Guided by the requirements of the social work regulator in England (Social Work England), SUSUN views the involvement of those with lived experience of social work as vital. We know the importance of including people; service users and carers, sharing their lived experience which enables students and academics to think critically and reflect on their personal and professional development.

    We envisage however that your involvement will go beyond the sharing of experience and that you will engage with us as consultants, reviewers, researchers, facilitators, educators and assessors.
