Our Co-production Charter
We worked with Parents and Carers Together Stockport (PACTS), families, carers and professionals to review and update our Co-production Charter, which sets out how we promise to work with families in Stockport. It has been designed to help everyone, whether you're new to co-production, or have years of experience.
The charter states that, together, we're building a culture where:
- we respect, care and understand
- we are honest, transparent and clear
- we build relationships
- we learn and feed back
Participation and co-production can happen on an individual level, between someone working with you, your child and your family. This can include things like:
- helping to create your plan and set goals that matter to you and your family
- sharing your views, wishes and feelings as part of assessments and reviews
- making decisions together about the support you receive
- discussing what is working well and what could be different
- helping professionals understand your family's strengths, needs and experiences
- working together to create outcomes which matter and how you will know when it is achieved
- having your views listened to and used when decisions are being made
It can also happen on a system level, which can include things like:
- being a member of Stockport boards and meetings
- being involved in community sessions and events
- working with services to help shape their offer
- completing surveys or joining a focus group
- designing and delivering training
- sharing your lived experience to improve services
- helping to check the quality of services being delivered
- contributing to the development of policies, strategies and plans
