Join our free webinar on 18 September at 15.00 CET to hear how people who use services can participate in the planning, delivery and evaluation of social services. We will discuss:

  • A 4-step model for implementing co-production at every stage of service provision from Offenbach, Germany
  • How care experienced young people are involved in co-production in Scotland
  • How challenges in implementation can be overcome, such as adapting to a new dynamic of interaction between professionals and people using services
  • The outcomes and impact of co-production that can be achieved from the perspective of someone with care experience and from a service manager

This webinar is part of the preparations for ESN's Seminar on Co-production, taking place on 14-15 November in Lisbon.

 

Speakers

Dr. Matthias Schulze-Böing

Head of Employment, Statistics & Integration Policies Department, The City of Offenbach am Main, Germany

Matthias will present an advanced methodology of co-production being implemented in Offenbach with people who use services. It is based on:

  1. Co-design
  2. Co-commissioning
  3. Co-delivery
  4. Co-assessment

This new model is showing high potential to improve outcomes for people by making them more engaged in the services affecting them.

He will explain the impact co-production can have from the perspective of someone with experience of care.
