Description
During recent decades a strong interest has grown in actively involving service users in social work education, research and policy development. Drawing on a major European Social Fund project, this book presents an overview of inspiring collaborative models that have proven their efficacy and sustainability. Contributions from service users, lecturers and researchers from across Europe provide detailed case studies of good practice, exploring the value framework behind the model and considering their added value from a user, teacher and student perspective.
The book concludes with a series of reflective chapters, considering key issues and ethical dilemmas.

Reviews / Votes
"This is a rich and celebratory collection about the participation of service users in the training of social workers and in research about social work. It conveys confidence in the value of involving 'experts by experience' and is an excellent encouragement to those who are embarking on the early stages." European Journal of Social Work "An impressive and inspiring multiannual research project forms the basis of this book, and one of its strengths is the enhanced comparison of the different experiences with the involvement of service users. It provides an interesting and inspiring insight in the state of the art in higher social work education in Europe." Journal of Social Intervention: Theory and Practice "This is a remarkable and inspiring collection of models and critical reflections on the inclusion of experts by experience in social work education and research. It provides valuable guidance for developing a very innovative approach." Silvia Fargion, University of Trento "It provides practical ideas through illustrations of specific projects and also identifies and explores some of the key challenges and enablers for making this impactful regardless of the country in which it is implemented. All in all, I found this to be an engaging and informative read and felt reassured by the extent of good practice taking place. I would encourage anyone seeking to harness lived experience expertise in social work education, research or policy to come here for some inspiration and the knowledge that you are in good company."
