Meet our Lived Experience Expert Consultants:

Our Lived Experience Experts primarily work with BIHR on our Human Rights in Children's Inpatient Mental Health Services project. You can read more about the project, including opportunities to get involved and access project support, including training, here.

Meet our current Experts (not videos), below:

Charli is an autistic and neuro-divergent person who was admitted to Inpatient CAMHS (Children's Mental Health Services) when she was 15. You can read Charli's blog for BIHR on why our Human Rights Act matters to her, as an ex-inpatient on a children's mental health ward, here.

Hanna, in her own words: "I'm a neuroscience and psychology student from London. I've also been figure skating for some time and find this tremendously beneficial for both my physical and mental health. Over the past 6 years I've had a lot of experience with both CAMHS and adult mental health services as both an inpatient and in the community. I'm really excited to join BIHR and work on this amazing project!"

Kirsten is a single parent of an autistic son who, from the ages of 14-18, was held in mental health hospitals and subjected to restrictive practices, including mechanical restraint and long periods in seclusion. Kirsten has secured his discharge, with a bespoke package of care and he now lives happily and independently and is attending college.

BIHR's Previous Internship Scheme:

Up until summer 2021, BIHR taught at QMUL School of Law. We ran a paid summer internship scheme for students, awarded through a competitive application process. You can read more about our Intern Alumni here.
