Abstract

This article will explore the methodologies employed in a collaborative research project on lived experience of exercise or denial of legal capacity, known as the Voices of Individuals: Collectively Exploring Self-determination (VOICES) project. In so doing, the project's research team will reflect on key decisions about the project's background, design, implementation (including the recruitment and selection of participants, workshops and editing contributions) and considerations for further research.
