Lived Experience Network
Gambling Research Glasgow places lived experience at the centre of its work on gambling harms.
As part of the NIHR-funded Addictions Policy Research Unit, we champion co-production and inclusive practice. We actively consult with Addictions Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (APPIE) network – a national network of people with lived experience of addiction developed as part of the Addictions Policy Research Unit – aligning with its eight principles for meaningful involvement.
APPIE’s Eight Principles for Involvement:
- Nothing about us without us
- Early involvement
- Involvement throughout
- Support and capacity building
- Recognition and reward
- Accessibility and inclusion
- Transparency
- Evaluation and feedback
These principles guide our governance and practice, including the co-development of inclusive language guidelines that promote respectful, person-first communication in all aspects of our work
