Towards co-production
What is it?
The goal of co-production is to improve the life chances and outcomes for children, young people and families in Havering
We should do with, not do to
A person centred approach
Why do it?
We recognise that services alone do not produce outcomes
More people involved, actively contributing
People with lived experience are better placed about needs and wants
