Who is Involved?
Content vs. Context Experts
When we think about who should be involved within the KMb strategy it’s important to note the inclusion of both content, as well as context experts (Attygalle, 2017).
Content Experts are professionals, staff within an organization, service providers, and leaders with formal power who have knowledge, tools, and resources to address the issue.
Context Experts are people with lived experience of the situation, including children and youth. They are the people who experientially know about the issue.
