In this episode I speak with Sue, who participated in the Safeguarding Adults Review following her best friend\u2019s death. Together we explore what it feels like to contribute after a traumatic bereavement, why family and those closest to the person matter so much, and how meaningful participation can support both the review and those involved. &amp;nbsp; In this episode we discuss:  Why she said yes to participating in the review and impact it had&amp;nbsp; The value of lived experience.&amp;nbsp; How reviews can support healing as well as learning.&amp;nbsp; How family engagement enables people to see the whole system for the first time.&amp;nbsp; What people need to know if they asked to participate in a review.&amp;nbsp;   When reviews genuinely value lived experience, they produce richer learning, more accurate narratives and, importantly, give participants the opportunity to know that their voice has made a difference. &amp;nbsp;  Are you interested in becoming an independent reviewer?
