It has the potential to make an important contribution to all of the big challenges that face social care services. Co-production can support:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0implementation of the Care Act 2014<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0cost-effective services<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0improved user and carer experience of services<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0increased community capacity<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0outcome-focused and preventative services integration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Care Act 2014 is one of the first pieces of legislation to specifically include the concept of co-production in its statutory guidance. In particular, Co-production should be used to develop preventative, strength-based services, support assessment, shape the local care market and plan information and advice services. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scie.org.uk\/publications\/guides\/guide51\/what-is-coproduction\/defining-coproduction.asp\" rel=\"noopener\">A useful guide and web resources can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For more information please contact Kathryn Bird at <a href=\"Kathryn.bird@devon.gov.uk\">Kathryn.bird@devon.gov.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yammer.com\/devon.gov.uk\/#\/threads\/inGroup?type=in_group&amp;feedId=42166820864&amp;view=all\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"longdesc-return-4306\" class=\"wp-image-4306 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/haveyoursay\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2020\/10\/Co-ProYammerImage-1-393x181.png\" alt=\"Link to Yammer community\" width=\"420\" height=\"193\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/haveyoursay?longdesc=4306&amp;referrer=2586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/haveyoursay\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2020\/10\/Co-ProYammerImage-1-393x181.png 393w, https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/haveyoursay\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2020\/10\/Co-ProYammerImage-1-800x369.png 800w, https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/haveyoursay\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2020\/10\/Co-ProYammerImage-1-768x354.png 768w, https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/haveyoursay\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2020\/10\/Co-ProYammerImage-1.png 908w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please click on the links below for more information: Co-production Awareness Training Adult Social Care Co-production Network Devon Co-production Projects A Co-production Guide for Adult Social Care Co-production Evidence Gathering and Tools What is the Co-Production Advisory Group (COAG)?
