Community Practice Network

Session 3: From listening to action

Making co-production work in adult social care

Thursday 15th October  |  10:30-11:30
Virtual Event on MS Teams

A space for honest conversation and shared learning‍

Co-production is an important part of adult social care - but turning it into meaningful influence over services and decisions isn't always straightforward.

For our next Community Practice Network session, we're bringing local authorities together to compare approaches, share challenges, and learn from each other's experiences.

We'll explore what helps co-production move beyond consultation, the barriers councils are encountering, whose voices can be harder to involve, and how you know when it's genuinely making a difference.

With co-production also high on the national social care agenda, we'll connect these local experiences to the wider conversation about the future of care.

‍

What you'll gain

You will leave the session with:

  • A clearer view of how other councils are approaching co-production
  • Insight into common challenges and different ways councils are responding
  • Practical ideas and perspectives to take back to your team
  • The opportunity to connect and learn with peers facing similar questions

‍

‍How the session works

This is a small, discussion-based session designed to encourage open and practical conversation.

We'll start with a short look at the wider landscape before using a shared digital whiteboard, small-group discussions, and whole-group reflection to explore experiences and perspectives across the network.

Facilitated by Imosphere with a light touch – keeping the focus on shared learning between local authorities.
