Overview
We know that coproduction can mean different things to different people. In this introductory course, we examine what we mean by coproduction in terms of sharing power, knowledge and expertise with all stakeholders across a system and, in particular, with people with experience of multiple disadvantage.
We’ll explore how coproduction can be used to redress trauma experienced within services and how you can take steps towards redesigning a system that places people with lived experience at the centre of decision-making.
Who is this training for?
This course is designed for local stakeholders working to better coordinate services and systems for and with people facing multiple disadvantage.
We encourage a broad range of stakeholders from local areas to join, including people with lived experience of multiple disadvantage, commissioners, elected members, community groups, managers and practitioners from statutory, commissioned and non-commissioned services.
