Friday 24th November
Today’s theme is: Listen, Learn, Lead – Co-Production With Experts by Experience
Co-production is a collaborative approach whereby those who receive support, along with their family, friends and carers, are involved in the planning and delivering of support. The focus is to ensure that we hear the voices of those who are at the centre of the support. It’s about respecting their views, wishes and beliefs in order to make their support the best it can be. Co-production features in the Care Act (2014) for England, the Social Services and Wellbeing Act (2014) for Wales and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) assessment framework. It is something all organisations should incorporate into their practice.

Co-production: what it is and how to do it (SCIE)
The term ‘co-production’ describes working in partnership by sharing power between people who draw on care and support, carers, families and citizens.
This guide is about how to do co-production. It was co-produced with people who draw on care and support, carers, support providers and staff from the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE).

National Co-production Week was back for an eighth year in July 2023. It celebrated the benefits of co-production, shared good practice and promoted the contribution of people who use services and carers in developing better public services.

Professionals collaborating with communities and people who draw on care and support are likely to have a stronger focus on the outcomes of the support provided when they are co-producing, and potentially a greater focus on prevention. So, there are improved outcomes for people who draw on care and support as a result.
The contribution that co-production makes to developing social networks and communities is another benefit. It has been argued that this only happens where there is collective co-production with groups and communities and not where co-production is confined to individuals being involved in the services they receive.
