We ran a workshop for the Edinburgh Together ASL Consortium on 28 June 2018, which aimed to give people from the service time to think about how they can embed cultures that support co-production. The ASL (Additional Support for Learning) service at City of Edinburgh Council works closely with schools, parents, medical professionals and partnership services and agencies to provide specialist teaching and support to children and young people across Edinburgh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a short summary of the day’s discussion and activity, which was facilitated by Josie Vallely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First-off, the group reviewed Iriss’ work to date on co-production. It considered the different settings in which co-production can be used and how co-production addresses power imbalances that are inherent to professionalised services. Learning from the Pilotlight project was shared with the group, which explored how co-production could be used to influence the use of self-directed support in different settings. It was explained that throughout the day, the Iriss co-production planner <\/a>would be used to support the group activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first group activity involved thinking about who would need to be in a co-production team that was looking to improve support available to children and families in Edinburgh. A graph was used to explore power relationships between people who make decisions, and the people who are impacted by these decisions. The group got creative, making models ( some abstract!) of the kinds of people who would need to be involved, to prompt discussions about shifts in power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group identified the following people who would need to be involved in the conversation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
