大象传媒 works with an expert group of people who have a learning disability, and family members and/or carers of people who have a learning disability. Some of these people are also autistic.
Joining the Expert Advisory Network can be a rewarding experience. Get involved in various projects, share your knowledge, and connect with others.
When we have other projects where we want to work in co-production, we ask people on our Expert Advisory Network. Anyone with experience of using adult social care or being an unpaid carer can get involved.
We also have the Workforce Expert Advisory Group.
The group gets involved in different parts of 大象传媒’s work to help us get better at what we do. The group meets virtually on Zoom every second Monday of each month, in the afternoon.
We are currently inviting teams and organisations to apply to facilitate this group. You can find out how to do this below.

We also work with an independent group of people who are autistic, or have a work interest in autism.
If you're interested in finding out more about any of the groups, please email innovation@skillsforcare.org.uk.
Members of the groups can claim a participation payment of £20 an hour for being part of the group, if they aren’t being paid by another organisation.
