What is co-production?

Co-production is when you as an individual influence the support and services you receive, or when groups of people get together to influence the way that services are designed, commissioned and delivered. To put it simply, it’s about the importance of working together, sharing knowledge and co-designing better ways to deliver services with service users, families, and our communities. That is co-production in a nut-shell.

This course will help you to:

• understand what co-production is
• understand the difference between co-production, engagement, participation and involvement
• identify some of the barriers to co-production
• improve your knowledge and confidence about how to put co-production into practice

Who is it for?

You! Anyone that is interested in challenging the traditional way of providing public services e.g.

• Parents/carers
• Individuals, teams, or organisation
• Young people in education/youth organisations.
• healthcare staff and managers
• housing officers
• commissioners of services
• Educators
