Who It's For
Leaders developing co-production and lived experience leadership
Overview
Co-production is one of the most used and misused words in public services. This programme returns to its roots in Elinor Ostrom's research and Edgar Cahn's core economy, works through Bovaird and Loeffler's four Co's, and sets out how Wales has written co-production into law through the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014. It explores lived experience leadership, using Baljeet Sandhu's forms of expertise and care for the emotional labour of sharing stories, then asks how to evaluate engagement honestly and what leaders and boards must do to make it a culture. A capstone reads Blaenau Gwent, Lambeth and Barking and Dagenham.
Aims
This programme aims to help leaders move from consulting people to sharing power with them: placing their services honestly on the co-production ladder, building fair and sustainable lived experience leadership, measuring engagement to improve rather than to defend, and leading the culture and governance that make participation real.
In summary, you will be able to:
- Explain the origins and principles of co-production and the Welsh legal duties, and distinguish genuine co-production from tokenism and co-production washing.
- Assess whether pay, support, decision rights and evaluation measures are in place to sustain co-production and lived experience leadership in your own service.
- Lead an engaging organisation by applying governance questions, leadership behaviours and lessons from the capstone cases to share decision making on one real issue.
What you'll develop
Through this Focus course, you will build the ability to:
- Explain the origins of co-production in Ostrom's research and Cahn's core economy, and describe why reciprocity turns recipients into contributors.
- Describe the five principles of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, the section 16 duty and the involvement way of working, and explain why a legal duty is a floor rather than a ceiling.
- Explain Sandhu's lived, learnt and practice expertise and place your organisation's lived experience roles on the spectrum from feedback to leadership.
- Distinguish outputs, process quality, influence and outcomes, and set at least one measure at each level before an engagement exercise begins.
- Distinguish the team model of engagement from the culture model and describe the four leadership behaviours that make engagement real.
- Use the five questions of context, power, method, change and transfer to read any engagement case.
