UK Standards for Public Involvement

ARC WM aligns to the UK Standards for Public Involvement, which were launched in November 2019.
 
Building on experiences of using the Standards, ARC WM holds an annual workshop, which uses the UK Standards for involvement as a framework to reflect on ways of involving the public in its activities. During the workshops, we consider approaches to involvement in each of the six Standards:

1. Inclusiveness

Potential contributors are aware of opportunities for involvement/ engagement/ participation.

2. Working Together

Public contributors will be involved throughout research projects.

3. Support & Learning

4. Communication

5. Impact
