Co-production Week is an annual celebration of the benefits of co-production; sharing good practice and promoting the contribution of people who use services and carers in developing better public services.

Co-production is about working in equal partnership with people using services, carers, families and citizens. It offers the chance to transform education, health and social care provision “to a model that offers people real choice and control.”
