<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most people call them a 'co-researcher'. We think that's OK as long everyone doing the research is called a co-researcher. But if you have 'the researcher' working with 'the co-researcher', it's like saying only one of them is a real researcher. We often hear people talking about the researcher and the co-researcher. It's like having a Chair and a Co-chair, rather than two Co-chairs. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That annoys us because if you don't need them both then why have them both in the team? And if you do need them both, why give one a higher status just because the knowledge and experience they bring is different? </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So rather than using the term co-researcher, we prefer to say academic researcher and activist researcher. When they do research together we might call them both co-researchers if we need to, but usually we would talk about them co-researching. Researching together is an activity, not an identity or a status. And Barod researchers don't need an identity that says they can <i>only</i> co-research. We are quite able to do research by ourselves too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But then we were thinking about <i>why</i> you need activist researchers, or co-researchers, or whatever you choose to call them/us. What do they bring that other researchers can't bring? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In social research, people talk about insider research. This is social researchers who go and research their own community or work place. That sounds a bit like most of the research done by researchers with learning disabilities. So then we wondered why people don't usually call them insider researchers. Maybe that's because academics aren't quite sure if a researcher with learning disabilities fully deserves the status and label of being a social researcher. If we had time [that's Barod-speak for 'please pay us for the time'!] we would love to compare the literature about insider research with the literature about participatory research. There could be a lot to learn about why and how to do participatory research by looking at the lessons from insider research.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In ethnography, social researchers rely on gatekeepers to give them access and credibility. We know this is an important role of activist researchers. Without activist researchers in the team, academic researchers would need to find gatekeepers. With activist researchers in the team, access and credibility can happen via the researchers' insider status without needing to go and find a gatekeeper. We do wonder sometimes if using the term co-researcher can go hand in hand with thinking of activist researchers a bit like glorified gatekeepers: someone who stands with one foot in the world being researched and one foot in the academic world of research, but who doesn't really belong in their own right in the academic world of research. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We will keep thinking. We don't have the answers. We would like to know what other researchers think. </span><br />

The idea was to develop a toolkit so self advocates could evaluate self
advocacy projects for themselves. It would help them plan and run better
projects. It would prove to funders and commissioners that the projects were
worth funding. This is really important for self advocacy, because it is
getting harder to get funding. Groups are closing all over the UK because they
cannot get funding.<span style="mso-no-proof: yes;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
This year we celebrate five years of existing.<br />
<br />
That may not sound a huge achievement. But it is. We were trying to do something rarely attempted, and never before achieved: a cooperative of equals, all deciding that we wanted to come together as a cooperative, all earning equal pay, all with an equal say in running the company, all colleagues with the same status, despite living in a society that assumes people with and without learning disabilities are not equal.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
To everyone who said the idea of Barod was unrealistic or impossible - Hello! We found a way to make it happen. And five years later we are still here to tell the tale. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
To the person in the job centre who said 'starting a business isn't for people like you' - we think you'll find we've proved that it is. </blockquote>
<br />
For five years, we have worked together. We have proved we were all ready to work, ready to run a business together and ready to change assumptions.<br />
<br />
From December 2013, we have earned every penny that we paid ourselves.<br />
<br />
It's time to publicly recognise organisations who supported us before Barod was incorporated and during those first few months when we existed legally but hadn't started trading.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>We want to thank <a href="http://allwalespeople1st.co.uk/">All Wales People First</a>, who supported the 18 month working party that led to Barod's formation. </li>
<li>We want to thank the <a href="https://www.biglotteryfund.org.uk/global-content/programmes/wales/awards-for-all-wales">Big Lottery Fund</a> for an Awards for All that met the costs so we could meet up from around Wales and buy laptops before we started trading.</li>
<li>We want to thank the <a href="https://www.shaw-trust.org.uk/Wales">Shaw Trust</a> for recognising that some of us needed specialist advice to move from benefits to being company directors and workers - and then subcontracted to the right people.</li>
<li>We want to thank the <a href="https://wales.coop/">Wales Cooperative Centre</a> who realised Barod was going to be different, so bought in some different business start-up mentoring for us in the form of Phill of the awesomely different <a href="http://dynamix.coop/">Dynamix</a>.</li>
<li>We want to thank family, friends and supporters who believed Barod might just work, and gave us the space and support we needed to make Barod a reality.</li>
</ul>

<i>Our official 5 year celebration and launch of an exciting research project funded by DRILL (see <a href="http://www.barod.org/page14.html">press release</a>) will take place on Thursday 1st February, 2pm to 4.30pm in Swansea. </i></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Five
years ago, a small group of people with and without learning difficulties
founded Barod Community Interest Company to create their own jobs and run their

two organisations combining forces for a research project to support and work
alongside a small number of self-advocacy organisations who were looking to
create paid work for members or generate income for the organisation. Thanks to
this funding from the National Lottery Fund, via <a href="http://www.drilluk.org.uk/">DRILL</a> (Disability Research on
Independent Living and Learning), o<span class="m6740238651828263082s1"><span style="color: #222222;">ver the next two years these five organisations will be

<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">On Tuesday, we ran a game at the Swansea Behaviour Change Festival. We called it '</span></b><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Swansea’s Got Jargon*-Busters'.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><i>*Jargon: a word or phrase not used in everyday life, or that is being used with a different, special meaning. It often goes with waffling and speaking too fast.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">We wanted to see if, when faced with a panel of three people with learning difficulties, people could talk for 2 minutes about their job or what they'd learned at the Festival without using jargon. If someone on the panel couldn't understand them easily, they would buzz. Three buzzes and you're out. If you are still going at 2 minutes, you got a rosette saying 'I'm a Jargon Buster'. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Summary<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li>People who
took part, the panel and the observers were surprised and pleased that people
succeeded.</li>
<li>Face to face
communication is easier than communicating in writing.</li>
<li>Jargon is
comfortable.</li>
<li>You need to
know your subject to be able to explain it without jargon.</li>
<li>If you find
a connection with the people, communicating ideas is easier</li>
<li>The keys
were:</li>
<ul>
<li><b>Slow down</b></li>
<li><b>Think before
you speak</b></li>
<li><b>Use personal
stories or comparisons to everyday life</b></li>
</ul>
<li>Most people
who took part felt pressured. Remember that feeling next time you are the one in
control. It’s likely that is how the other person is feeling.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
If you want to know more detail, keep reading! Otherwise, before you click away, we have something we'd like you to reflect on:<br />
If you can only say it in jargon, maybe you don't understand it well enough to make changes and DO it.<br />
Maybe, just maybe, learning to explain things in everyday language could break the cycle of good intentions and great policies that never quite deliver the change they want.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">

<ul>
<li><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Stories were good</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">. There were words that would be
jargon in a different context, but the context made the meaning clear.</span></li>
<li>Some people
used jargon but immediately explained it and that was OK.</li>
<li>Some words
are OK when they are spoken, but would have been jargon if they’d been written
down, like ‘legislation’.</li>
<li>It feels
comfortable to put professionals on the spot. <b style="font-size: 12pt;">Usually it’s the other way round</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">, with professionals putting us on
the spot. What you felt about pressure and it being nerve-wracking is how we
usually feel when we meet you.</span></li>
<li>It’s a shame
we didn’t buzz people more. <b style="font-size: 12pt;">We were too
nice, and they were too good</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">!</span></li>
<li>Interesting
mix of people. I thought they’d all be suits. But they weren’t.</li>
<li>They had
their <b style="font-size: 12pt;">filtering systems on overdrive</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">.
When they spoke, they were thinking and taking their time, like “I’ve got that
word, no, throw it out and find another”,</span></li>
<li>Someone ran
out of things to say because they <b style="font-size: 12pt;">weren’t
waffling</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">. They said what they wanted to say quicker because they used less
words.</span></li>
<li>It’s the <b style="font-size: 12pt;">context</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">. It doesn’t matter if it is the
same word for different meanings if the context is clear. And if it’s jargon
that includes the word ‘system’, you need to </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">teach</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> people in clear language what the jargon phrase means before
you use it.</span></li>
<li><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Compare</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> the thing you want to explain to
something we already understand. Someone used Swiss cheese to explain risk.
Someone used eggs to explain how the environment and economy fit together. We used what they said to explain it to
someone else when we got back to the office, and they understood our
explanation.</span></li>
<li>Consciously
or not, talkers get direct feedback from the body language and facial
expressions of the audience. This is something you can’t do in written info.</li>

<li>Stories

<li>Panel
members could re-tell what they’d been told not just immediately after, but the

<li>People often
started by assuming they would get buzzed in the first few seconds. We were
surprised how many people won rosettes, and so were most of the people who won
them. It showed that <b style="font-size: 12pt;">people are better

</div>
<ul>
<li>I felt
comfortable. I thought I’d done well to tell a personal story in a way that
people could understand what I said.</li>
<li>The point of
the game to me was that people experienced what it means to communicate
effectively. As soon as it is face to face, communicating is a different story.
You <b style="font-size: 12pt;">get instant feedback</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> on whether
you are communicating. It’s much harder to communicate with fliers.</span></li>
<li>The <b style="font-size: 12pt;">clock and the panel</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> really made you
think about it. I’m bound to go back to jargon. I really don’t want to, but I
know I will resort to </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">the shorthand of
jargon because it is comfortable</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> for me. I need a Barod app that pings up
when I’m talking to people!</span></li>
<li>It was quite
<b style="font-size: 12pt;">nerve wracking</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">. I didn’t know if it
made sense. When the panel were smiling, I wondered if they were just being
polite. But it was fun.</span></li>
<li>It depends
on the subject. If I go into my job in detail, I will get buzzed. It’s being
conscious that <b style="font-size: 12pt;">if you go down one route
it will inevitably send you down the route where jargon is the common language.</b></li>
<li>Prepare
before, or <b style="font-size: 12pt;">know your subject</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> sufficiently
well to be able to say it without jargon.</span></li>
<li>It made me
realise that <b style="font-size: 12pt;">sometimes all you
understand about the thing you are explaining is the jargon</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">, not what the
jargon means.</span></li>
<li>Sometimes it
is <b style="font-size: 12pt;">the safe option to stick to jargon</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">,
especially if you are a civil servant.</span></li>

I’m sat in Café Nero in Fforestfach. I’m drinking coffee and
blogging.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m watching people sat alone, reading papers, staring into
the distance, doing paperwork. I can see the couples sat in silence, and the
couples talking. I can see the women in the window seats glued to their smart
phones.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Usually, but not today, I watch a group of mothers laughing
together with babies in prams, or a group of older women <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Earlier today I was part of a talking couple, catching up
with my husband. And then we got talking about ‘coffee shop conversations’.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s something I do in coffee shops as part of Barod, but
not today. And it’s something I’m researching for a PhD.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Imagine, the group of mothers get talking about the local
maternity service. A fly on the wall would have a field day learning by
listening to them. The fly would hear all sorts of things that weren’t said at
the formal consultation on the future of that service. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I did listen in to one of those conversations a few years
ago in Holyhead. That’s when I realised what a wealth of problem-solving,
insightful knowledge exists which policy makers and service managers don’t tap
into. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And the idea for ‘coffee shop conversations’ was born.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s a method that lets policy makers learn from members of
the public who ‘don’t do engagement’. It’s a method that lets members of public
use their voice – you’d be amazed how many wish there was a magic way for
‘important people’ to know what life is like for them without them having to go
to a public meeting or fill in a questionnaire. It’s a method that costs very
little. And from past experience, it’s a method that leads to a wider group of
people taking an interest in public life. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you want to know what the method involves, how it works
and to see one in action, come along on Tuesday 20<sup>th</sup> September to
the <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/swansea-behaviour-change-festival-turning-upside-shift-thinking-20th-september-tickets-27043912069">Swansea Behaviour Change Festival</a></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I think it would be good to have a day to get

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It would be good if there is a day like this.
Barod could put in a bid for a research work shop so that we could have a day
with people we work with and can learn how to coproduce and so that people can
learn to how to put in for bids of research. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I think that we need to think about what we want
to research before trying to do research work. I learnt this when I went in
front of Mars research group.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I think it would be much easier and people would
learn a lot from the day. I’ve done research myself and think you need to give
people who do research what information they need so they could go get on with
their projects of research. You need to think about what you want to do so you
can think about how projects of research can be joint together with academics.
They can work on talking coproducing with disabled people and people with
learning difficulties and people in the past have had mental health problems.
So when they are ready they can make this research work and more people will
have the information they need. whatever they researching on in the future so
that people will get the right knowledge of what research help is out there for
everyone so that when they put in for a bid they will have the right
information and they will be successful in their bid. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This covers a lot of things of research, could be
everyday lives health and well-being could be about where everyday lives go
pear-shaped, could be about time banking on website for academics and people
with disability or on life in their communities or about people and their
relationships in their lives the family and friends. Relationships could be
partners, boyfriend girlfriend, marriages or could be about people’s race
religion or research into how to get people back into work as people with a
disability people with mental health problems in the past have in them to get
back into work there could be young or old to fit back in their communities, in
their local areas, in their towns and in their cities. And one day become part
of the community of life so that all people mix race and people with a
disability for everyone can have the same opportunity as everyone, can have
opportunity of employment whatever they are from, leaving school at 16 and to
whatever age all. People over 60 are still can have the same choices as
everyone in UK. People from all walks of life whatever their backgrounds and
wherever they are from in Europe or the UK even in the world should have no
barriers and the same opportunities whatever line of work. That could be
working in a supermarket working in an office too. I’m saying anyone can work
however their skills their talents could be the third sector to anyone to the
council and their own business to Parliament.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Last Wednesday, we attended a roadshow in Cardiff
University regarding Disability Learning Wales. It was about people who apply
for bids to do research, and what goes on in co-production workshops. I have
attended many meetings before, but none of them were about the co-production
between Academics and people/groups who use and provide services.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Although it was a long day, I found it quite
interesting because this is the first time I’ve attended this sort of
meeting/workshop and gave me an insight to what sort of work goes on in other
organisations and co-production between these said groups and Academics<o:p></o:p></span></div>

gain a better understanding what works that go on as well as what will happen
in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I volunteer in an advocacy agency called
Carmarthenshire People First and with the works I do within the agency as well
as with other groups and organisations, it could be of some use to help make
others understand the needs and wants of people who uses services, as well as
bringing what I’ve learnt on the day back to the groups that are held within our
organisation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

as a human being, and went down the route of looking for employment. I was told
by Job Centre Plus that I had to seek advice from a disability employment advisor
(DEA). I attended the appointment where the DEA spent the appointment on
explaining how I’d never find employment. It made me feel unworthy and felt I
was the problem, where the problem was they couldn’t find the appropriate
employment for me because it wasn’t out there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">So the message I’m giving is it wasn’t
my problem, it was theirs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">So, he sent me to supported employment
agencies that he thought would suit me, and the various work placements and
training came into this. I decided to knock that on the head because it made me
feel ‘special’ in the shut out and stared at way. And none of it led to
employment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I’ve always remembered the Wetherspoon’s
story, and that story kept me going. Wetherspoon’s was started by someone who
was told by his teacher he would never succeed in business. The teacher’s name was Wetherspoon, so that’s
what the man called his first successful business. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Now I’m the one who’s proved them
wrong. I have created work for myself and other people. It just needed people
who shared my vision to come together and get on with it – some of those people
are now colleagues and some are from outside Barod, including the Work Choice
provider I finally got myself referred to. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And, in case you are wondering, Barod
isn’t the name of my old teacher but it was chosen for the same reason. Job
Centre Plus said I wasn’t ready. The Disability Employment Advisor back then
sent me on courses because I wasn’t ready. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

It gets used a lot. And it gets used to describe a lot of things.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">We always start by thinking about power and control. I guess that's because we are used to not having either, despite being told we have been given them.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">So, for us, coproduction is not a new type of engagement or involvement. Engagement and involvement always rely on someone else saying you can get involved. Usually the "someone else" is your service provider, local authority or government. As long as someone has the power to choose to involve you, they can choose to stop involving you as well. Same goes for empowerment, engagement and all these other buzz words for shifting how things work between the powerful and less powerful.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">The hard reality is that the "someone else" really does hold the power and control. They have the money, the influence, the professional training, sometimes even the democratic right if they were elected. As long as "someone else" holds power and control, engagement and involvement are hugely important for improving the quality of services, policies and planning.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">The problem for us comes when "someone else" holds the power but believes (or pretends) that we are all working as equals and we are coproducing.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">We came up with a way of trying to explain the difference between involvement and coproduction. We call it "My </span><span class="il" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">space</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">, Your </span><span class="il" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">space</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">, </span><span class="il" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Shared</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"> </span><span class="il" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">space</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">". The idea was sparked by a chance comment from Professor Catherine Robinson 18 months ago when we were trying to work out why we couldn't communicate how our vision of "team research" was different from the teams in most inclusive research.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Over the 18 months, the seed of an idea has grown into something we are ready to put out there as our contribution to the debate on the future relationship of public services and public.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Do watch the PowerPoint show, and let us know what you think.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">If it makes sense but leaves you wondering how to do it, you are welcome to talk to us about workshops, consultancy and action learning sets.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">If you think it's a load of cobblers as a concept or completely impractical as a practice, we'd love to hear why. We love critical friends who help refine and challenge our thinking.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">People First conferences are always really exciting and energy filled events. We've been involved in many over the years as participants, organisers and speakers.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This years event was no exception. it was full of experienced and skilled self advocates from across Wales. It's a chance for sharing ideas and recharging campaigning batteries, especially important with the tough times groups are facing.</span></div>
