Since 2020, the Community Reporter network has been working alongside the Co-Production Collective to explore lived experiences of co-production in a range of settings such as research, health and social care, community development and many more. Using Community Reporting approaches, we've gathered and continue to gather people's stories about their involvement in co-production. The stories below represent varied perspectives on co-production, from experts-by-experience to facilitators of co-production spaces to researchers to service professionals. They cover topics such as the benefits and challenges of co-production, its value and impact, and the key ingredients that contribute to co-production.
This ongoing storytelling initiative has also sought to highlight experiences in co-production that are often overlooked or unheard. As part of this work, we've focused on centring the experiences of racialised individuals in co-production. These important stories shine a light on experiences of racism in co-production space and also highlight what anti-racist co-production spaces could look like.
