Welcome to representing lived experience in co-design
Increasingly terms like co-design and co-production are being used by services and organisations to describe the way they include people with lived experience in program design, but it’s not always clear what it means. When participants understand the core principles of co-production and know what best practice looks like they are better able to prepare for participating in co-production and more empowered to contribute to the process successfully.
Participating in co-design learning goals:
- Participants will have an understanding of the value and the values of co-design and co-production and the different types of consultation.
- Participants will have strategies for addressing power in authentic co-design and co-production.
