Co-production with parents
Examples of how to co-produce with parents, including SEND Parent Carer involvement policies and parent input to individual learning or support plans.
Co-production means working together as equal partners. Everyone’s voice matters and everyone helps shape and create projects. We each bring different skills, knowledge, and experience, which helps us make better decisions together.
West Sussex has taken an exciting step by launching a new co-production charter. Local government staff, Young Voices, the West Sussex Parent Carer Forum and NHS colleagues worked together to create it.
The charter shows a strong, shared commitment to true partnership. It sets out clear principles and expectations for co-production, making sure children, young people and families don’t just share their views - they help shape the decisions and services that affect their lives.
