031: Payment for Involvement - When Compensation Affects Benefits

What happens when you compensate people for their involvement, but doing so negatively impacts their eligibility for government benefits?

Together, we'll unpack why paying people for their lived experience is the right thing to do, but also explore the challenges of doing this effectively without disrupting people's benefits.

This is something we've been grappling with as an organisation for the last six months, and over the course of this three part mini-series we'll be sharing everything we've learned along the way.

p.s. Keep a look out for the launch of our free 'Payment for Involvement Playbook'. Designed to help you create a fair payment for involvement policy for your organisation.

Hosts: Julia Fausing and Rachel Krengel, The Social Change Agency
