The Co-Production in Commissioning Toolkit (TLAP / Department of Health / SCIE / NEF / NHS England / NESTA)

Summary

An online resource, called the “Co-Production in Commissioning Tool”, has been made available via the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE).

This toolkit presents the work of Think Local, Act Personal (TLAP) – and partners – towards improving the awareness, understanding and prevalence of co-production. Co-production is the process of involvement and engagement whereby service users and communities have greater influence in the commissioning process.

The National Co-production Advisory Group’s definition of co-production involves:

“ …a meeting of minds coming together to find shared solutions…(where) people who use services and carers are valued by organisations as equal partners who can share power and have influence over decisions made”.
