Trainer
Co-development involves working in partnership with the people who are directly affected by services, policies and decisions to shape solutions that reflect their needs, experiences and priorities.
However, involving people in decision-making requires more than simply asking for their views. It means creating accessible opportunities to participate, building trust, recognising different forms of expertise and ensuring that contributions lead to meaningful change.
Drawing on years of experience in co-development with Gypsy and Traveller communities, this webinar explores the principles and practicalities. It will consider how professionals and organisations can build equitable partnerships, overcome barriers to participation and ensure that involvement is inclusive, ethical and meaningful.
