Working together to improve services in adult social care and health.
Coproduction is when individuals or groups of people help shape the support and services they receive. It it involves working together equally to create services that work well for everyone.
In Brent Adult Social Care, we want to work with residents, service users, carers, and professionals to improve our services. We are using our work with the community to make a better plan for working together and create a formalised approach to co-production and community partnership.
Coproduction Champions are individuals who come from a diverse background that reflects the diversity of Brent communities. They are individuals with lived experience, family carers, members of community groups and council employees who work together to influence the design, commissioning, and delivery of services.
They can sign up to a pledge, receive training and support, and participate in coproduction events and projects.
