Good co-production is like line dancing
Sandy uses a light line-dancing metaphor to make good practice easier to remember, without turning co-production into a tick-box exercise.
Agree the purpose, what is genuinely open to influence and who needs to be involved.
Bring lived experience in early and remove barriers created by language, timing, access, confidence or caring responsibilities.
Hear the voices that are often missed and build shared understanding before jumping to a solution.
Make decisions together, name responsibilities and share power wherever you can.
Pause, test what is working and adapt the approach with participants.
Close the loop with: you said, we did, we could not do, and why.
