Dear All

I am curious to know how people are assessing and demonstrating the values of co-production research outputs and outcomes. I come from an action-research in developing countries background and have recently come across the co-production network and ways of working. There are many parallels between the co-production principles and ways of working with what people aspire to achieve through action-research.

I have been looking through the co-production literature for a…

For your viewing pleasure, I present to you...

Lots happening in Wales: here are some updates and events:

All in this Together: There's been a strong emphasis on co-production and collaboration in the responses to the Social Services (Wales) Bill. It’s the Committee stage next and it's all looking very positive. Also, plans are underway for a WG visit to Scottish Government co-pro champions to share ideas about co-production and public service delivery:…

Yippee! The analysis of the questionnaires is finally complete - thanks to the technical wizardry and organisational brilliance of Noreen who has been helping me for the last month. We now have 82 co-pro projects and a ripe abundance of techniques, tools and theories to select from for the Co-pro Resource.



Thanks again to all of you for your contributions: the work you are doing is inspirational. And so are you!



Next step is to get the contents finalised; I'll email a draft…

Last month, Involve and Consumer Focus co-hosted a seminar exploring ‘Where next for localism and co-production?’ The event brought together a group of 27 individuals from national government, local government, the voluntary and community sector, the social innovation field, academia and think tanks to explore some of the challenges and opportunities…

It’s probably not the best metaphor to use so close to the centenary of the sinking of the Titanic, but it’s full steam ahead for a new co-production policy at SCIE (the Social Care Institute for Excellence).

SCIE's board approved a policy of working towards doing all our work in co-production with service users and carers last year and the implementation began with the appointment of Tina Coldham, a new service user representative to the board, in February. Tina’s role will include…

A follow up to 'a Glass Half Full' has been published, taking a more detailed look at the practice, evidence and evaluation of assets based approaches. It can be downloaded here: http://janefoot.com/downloads/files/healthy%20FINAL%20FINAL.pdf and will be put up in the resources library soon.

Thanks,

I'm thinking about the merit of developing a higher/ further education module focused on CP that could be offered to a diverse range of people (practitioners, service users, carers, public, politicians et al) to help embed CP as a basic requirement of professional, democratic and public practice; delivered by a diverse group of people with the insight, expertise and integrity to inspire take up of CP as a mainstream practice accessible to all.

I'm keen not to create barriers…

The C-P Resource project is gathering speed: Questionnaire 2 is analysed and the results are starting to go up on the Resource blog in all their loveliness. Thanks to all who are contributing...keep the info coming!

The co-production mapping exercise from the London network event in January is now up on Ruth's blog: http://coproductionresource.wordpress.com/draft-contents-1/mapping-the-cp-process/ 

This is a brief blog, intended to invite comment from everyone on a potential piece of research work.

During the first year of the co-production network (2009 - 2010), a group of around 30 practitioners met face to face every few months. We worked with that group to try and identify some of the major challenges they faced in 'doing' co-production, and making it more mainstream. Time and time again, one word came up. Evidence. More recently, at a national social care…

I just wanted to say thank you to those who got in touch and helped out at our recent co-production event in Lambeth, it seemed to go very well and I have had lots of positive feedback.

I thought I would share the write up of the event which I have pulled together on Storify here…

We are currently recruiting for a new London Time Credits Team, a commitment to Co-production is an essential requirement of all Spice posts.

Spice supports organisations and public services to develop time credit systems for their organisations and local communities. We are currently developing a number of new projects in England. We are looking for:

- a team co-ordinator who will support three locality workers and develop a project…

The meeting will allow you to:

• learn about the best practice case study of Time 2 Trade Sandwell Timebank, and how the public health authorities and citizens are able…

Almost all the practitioners I speak to about co-production have a clear idea of the practical tools and support they would like to help them further their work, and in influencing others about the value of co-production. Although these are many and varied, some of the most common ones include;

• An evidence review of the impact co-production has on people's outcomes, and the costs/value of public services
• Commissioning guidance and new commissioning ideas which…

Hi all,

We've had some interesting conversations with the Department of Health recently and there is the potential to influence change with respect to regulation.

What are the regulatory / red tape barriers that you face every day?

Do these get in the way of co-producing with people?

What would you do if you could change these policies and processes?

Hopefully we can get a good view of what change is needed, and use this to…

We had a great day out north of the border in Edinburgh for the Scottish co-production roadshow event. There was a big crowd (even with people from the reserve list queuing at the door!), which has got to be a first for co-production, and a great sign for its future in Scotland.

David Boyle, a nef fellow did a brilliant keynote introducing the idea of co-production, and talked about its emergence as a concept in the United States, and the more recent work nef has…
