What is co-production?

In Nottinghamshire adult social care co-production is enabling members of the public with relevant lived experience to have meaningful influence by:

• Working as equals alongside council staff.
• Feeling valued, empowered and better connected.
• Sharing power and feeling heard when decisions are made.
• Being recognised as having skills and knowledge that can help improve Adult Social Care in Nottinghamshire.
• Including people from the start on projects - this leads to different conversations and solutions.
