Co-production and Engagement 

The Local Area Definition of Co-production

“For us, co-production is about placing equal value on the contributions of children, young people, parents, carers, and professionals in making decisions and improving the services received and the experiences and outcomes of those living with SEND in Birmingham. 

Co-production therefore requires involving people openly and inclusively right from the very start of their experiences with public services, as a means of building and maintaining trust, so that they can contribute fully to the commissioning, design, delivery and evaluation of services and outcomes.” – The Birmingham SEND Local Area Partnership
