Experts by Experience
At Soundabout we want to make sure the voices of our participants and their families influence and help us to design our work.
We do this through our Experts by Experience groups. The groups are an opportunity to share thoughts, feedback, stories and lived experiences in a safe, supportive space.
The groups are visited by Soundabout Trustees, who ensure your feedback is at the heart of decision making.

A feedback and support group for parents / carers who access Soundabout services.

Participants Group - Coming Soon
We are also in the process of launching a third Experts by Experience group specifically for participants.
In the meantime, we are working individually with participants to gather their feedback, ideas and experiences.
We will gather feedback in as many accessible ways as possible, recognising that everyone communicates differently. This may include vocalisations, music, art, soundmakers and technology, as well as other forms of communication that work best for each individual.
