What is Coproduction?
We want to work together with people to make things better. We know that adults, children, and young people have important ideas. Their experiences help us understand what they need and what works best.
By working together, we can solve problems better. This helps us build trust and good relationships with everyone.
Browse all current coproduction activities on this page and find out more about past activities and what has been done because we have worked together.
