Seminar which looked at the role of co-production, its role in reforming public services and how co-production can best be used to help develop sustainable and effective public services. Part of Co-production Week Scotland 2017.

Co-production is becoming increasingly important in reforming public services as they try to meet the challenges associated with implementing new ways of working. It has the potential to transform our public service and change the relationship between those who develop and deliver our service and those who use them.
