Summary

This article highlights the issue of epistemic injustice, where the knowledge and experiences of family carers and the lived experience workforce are often dismissed or undervalued due to power imbalances within societal and institutional systems. Drawing from the author’s personal journey as both a carer and a lived experience worker, it reveals how assumptions and narrow views of knowledge silence carers, especially when intersecting with disability and distress.
