National Co-production Week
Sharing Power: 1-5 July 2019
For the fourth year running, Co-production Week will celebrate the benefits of co-production, share good practice and highlight the contribution of people who use services and carers to developing better public services.
Co-production is about working in equal partnership with people using services, carers, families and citizens. Co-production offers the chance to transform social care and health provision to a model that that offers people real choice and control.
Sharing power
This year we want to talk about power- how this needs to be shared more equally with people who use services and carers.
We'll show, with practical examples, live guests and innovative seminars how more equal partnerships with people who use services and carers can be achieved. After all, it is only when everyone’s contribution is valued equally and power is shared that meaningful co-production can happen.
Last year we wanted to break down the barriers to co-production. View full one hour webinar
This year we want people to tweet, email and blog about their experiences of power with examples of when this has been shared- what did this look like and what was the outcome? Tweet using #coproweek or email copro@scie.org.uk
