Co-production framework (HTML)

Published: 1 February 2024

“Co-production takes a long time and a lot of effort but it’s a more encompassing process and you get better buy-in from people.”

Introduction

In Bracknell Forest, we have made a commitment to increasing and enhancing the use of co-production in local services. This is because we know that:

  • people’s needs are better met when they are involved in a more equal and reciprocal relationship with professionals and others, working together to get things done
  • services work better when they recognise and engage the insights and experiences of the people who use them
  • the people who most rely on public services tend to be those who are most disempowered by the current service models

Transforming services by using co-production can substantially improve outcomes for the people using them. It also improves the effectiveness of the professionals involved.

This framework will be reviewed annually as our learning and experience delivering coproduction increases. The approach set out is part of an ambition and the early development to increase and improve our co-production.
