Lived Experience Advisory Panel

Engagement with the Gambling Commission’s Lived Experience Advisory Panel (LEAP) was central to the shaping of this research. Prior to fieldwork, LEAP members (including individuals who identify as affected others) helped to refine the research design, reviewed participant materials, and provided assurance that the approach was sensitive, accessible, and appropriate for a potentially vulnerable audience. LEAP input informed the language used throughout the research, the safeguarding plan, and supported with the recruitment of participants.

The same LEAP members were consulted again at the analysis stage to provide assurance on emerging findings and ensure participant perspectives had been sensitively reflected.
