Coproduction
Coproduction is about people, communities and services/organisations working together to create opportunities and solve problems.
Done well, it has the potential to radically change how we make decisions and plan, deliver and review services and community supports.
We have worked alongside a range of community members (including people with learning disabilities, older people, people with life limiting conditions and children) and with all types of services (including health, social care, education, service providers and user led organisations) to develop skills and processes to engage people in and deliver results from coproduction.
