Co-Production Involving ‘Experts with Lived Experience of Poverty’ in Policy and Service Development in Scotland: A Rapid Review of Academic Literature

The Poverty and Inequality Commission tasked the Scottish Poverty & Inequality Research Unit (SPIRU) of Glasgow Caledonian University with producing a rapid review of evidence from the academic literature. The focus of this appraisal is the way in which those with lived experience of poverty are reported to be involved in the co-production of policy and service development. The Commission was particularly interested in practice that is relevant to the Scottish context, and with what is presented in the academic literature as best practice, when involving experts by experience in co-production.
