How to Do Co Production?

To achieve co-production, the organisation structure and systems need to:
  1. involve people who use services and carers from the start.
  2. value and reward everyone who takes part in the co-production.
  3. ensure there are resources to cover the cost of co-production.

What is an example of co-production?

Basic co-production recognises that people are usually inevitably participating in most public services. For example patients taking their own medicine or children doing their homework. People who use these services will not have any influence on how the services are designed or delivered.

What is a co-production strategy?

“Co-production is an equal relationship where people with care and support needs and those responsible for services share power to plan and deliver support together, recognising that we all have a vital contribution to make in order to improve the quality of life for people and communities.”
