Overview and Outcomes.

Overview

Co-production is one of the most used and misused words in public services. This module returns to its roots in Elinor Ostrom's research on Chicago policing, the Boyle and Harris definition and Edgar Cahn's five core values, including reciprocity. It covers doing to, for and with people, Bovaird and Loeffler's four Co's, the Social Care Institute for Excellence's four principles, individual and collective co-production, a four-rung ladder, and what co-production is not. In Wales, co-production is written into law. This module covers the five principles of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, the section 16 duty and involvement under the Well-being of Future Generations Act, and why a legal duty is a floor, not a ceiling. It uses the Co-production Network for Wales definition and five principles, asks where power can genuinely be shared, and examines Local Area Coordination in Swansea.

What you'll develop

In this Bitesize, you will develop the ability to:

  1. Explain the origins of co-production in Ostrom's research and Cahn's core economy, and describe why reciprocity turns recipients into contributors.
  2. Apply Bovaird and Loeffler's four Co's and SCIE's four principles to identify where and how a service could share power.
  3. Distinguish doing to, for and with people, place a service honestly on the co-production ladder, and identify practices that are not co-production.
  4. 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.
  5. Apply the Co-production Network for Wales definition and five principles to identify where power can genuinely be shared in budgets, recruitment, commissioning and governance.
