Co-Production & Engagement in Social Care — A Complete 7-Part Guide
Share
Co-production is one of the most powerful — yet often misunderstood — ways to transform social care. Commissioners, inspectors, and families are no longer reassured by token consultation. They expect genuine partnership, clear pathways, and credible evidence that people, families, and communities shape how services are designed, delivered, and improved.
This seven-part blog series explores how providers can embed co-production and engagement in practice — from principles and family involvement to governance, inclusion of under-represented voices, case studies, and evidencing co-production in tenders and inspections. Whether you’re preparing a learning disability tender, a domiciliary care bid, or home care submission, these insights will help you demonstrate trust, partnership, and innovation with confidence.
