**About the Lived and Living Experience Authority**

Wellways is a not-for-profit organisation providing services to both people with a personal experience of mental health challenges, service use, periods of healing / personal recovery, and disability, and people with experience of supporting someone through this process. Wellways has a continuing commitment to innovation that ensures the priorities of the people we work with, and their local communities are core to what we do and how we do it.

Wellways is committed to becoming an organisation that is the change that Wellways' participants and the broader lived experience movements envisage, one that respects and embeds the authority and expertise of people with lived and living experience (LLE) at all levels of our organisation. The Wellways Lived and Living Experience Authority (the LLE Authority) is being established as a key means by which change will be achieved as part of the organisation's governance arrangements.

The LLE Authority has been designed to be a sustainable LLE voice that operates and impacts at the governance level of the organisation. The governance level sits separately from daily organisational activity and oversees organisational direction setting and planning, processes and policies, stakeholder engagement, and performance management of the organisation. The Board expects to learn from, be challenged and held to account by and to work in partnership with the LLE Authority to ensure that governance decisions reflect LLE perspectives.

**The role of the Lived and Living Experience Authority**

It will be the role of the LLE Authority to:

- Support and enable the Wellways' Board and CEO to hold themselves accountable consistently and transparently to participants of all our programs and to the communities served by the organisation,
- Influence the thinking and decisions of the Board and CEO by sharing - responsively and proactively - LLE perspectives and providing advice and/or making recommendations on specific issues,
- Engage in ongoing conversation with the Board and CEO around the challenges of transformation and elevating LLE expertise,
- Connect into Wellways' operational level LLE advisory groups, ensuring it has ongoing knowledge of the experiences of people and communities who engage with Wellways,
- Develop capability and pathways into LLE governance level roles within Wellways and connect to relevant LLE governance networks.

**The role of the members of the Lived and Living Experience Authority**:
The members led by the Co-Chairs will contribute to establishing the mechanisms by which the Authority will operate, including their relationships with the Board and CEO, its connection to the experience of people using Wellways' services, and processes and structures of the Authority.
