Achieving Quality in a New Era Paul Dunnery Operations Director Alzheimer’s Society

Easy read summary This is an easy read of the short version of the Social Care Institute for Excellence’s (SCIE) guide to co- production. SCIE has done the summary in partnership with the Think Local Act Personal partnership. The Think Local, Act Personal partnership was set up to make social care for adults better with person centred and community support. Co-production means services working together with people who use services and carers. A lot of this summary is about what co-production means.

Co-production is important for all services and can help them with all the big problems they have at the moment. It can: help save money make services better for people help people work together better in their community help services to work together more

What is co-production? Co-production basically means making something together. It is also about people with different views and ideas coming together to make things better for everyone. Co-production is about people who use services, carers and professionals working together as equals. Being equals means nobody is more important than anyone else.

These are the things that are most important about co-production: people who use services, carers and professionals all work together to do the same things people who use services and carers start to have more power and control

people who use services and carers are part of everything to do with services services understand that people who use services and carers are useful because of what they know and what they can do people get something for what they do for services – sometimes they are paid money and sometimes they can do things for free or to learn new things the staff who work with people who use services and carers have more say in how things are done instead of the managers

Principles are the ideas about what are the most important things to do and how to do them. Equality - everyone has something to give and nobody is more important than anyone else 2. Diversity – everyone should be able to be part of co-production and it is important for services to include everyone

Access - there shouldn’t be any thing that makes it difficult for any group of people to take part in co-production Reciprocity – this means everyone getting something for what they do in co-production. Sometimes they get money. Sometimes they get something for free. It is also about making friends with people and feeling good about helping people.

Structure The structure of the organisation is about the way the different parts of it work together and the things they do to make sure everything happens the way they want it to.

Culture The culture of an organisation comes from the things it believes and the things that the people who are in charge of the organisation thinks are important.

Practice Practice is about the way the people who work for the organisation do their work.

Review Review means checking on how you are doing something and finding out what can be done better. It is important for organisations to check how they are doing with co-production and if it is making a difference to people’s lives.
