A belated hello and welcome to the co-production practitioners network Jim, thanks for joining us!

The practitioners network is supported by nef but all content is developed by members, for members. Do have a good look around and get involved.

Some of the following areas are good starting points;

Network groups – based loosely around geographical regions or interest themes, they also host face to face meetings. There's a great Scottish network that you might want to join, they have big plans for co-production in Scotland.

Resources and Videos will give you access to the latest documents supporting co-production and bring you face to face with those putting it into practice. Your work on self-evaluation and planning sounds interesting. Evaluating activity and generating evidence of the value of co-production are two common (and pressing) themses for practitioners. If you were able to add any of your tools or blog about your experiences I'm sure you would generate a good response from other practitioners.

The Blog carries the latest news, debate and opportunities for co-production practitioners. See what’s going on, add in your own comments or start a new thread. 

nef is currently working on topics raised by network members: gathering the evidence base for co-production; developing practical approaches to commission co-production; delivering presentations and workshops for people who are interested in co-production. Get in touch if you want to know more or contribute.

It would really help to know how you heard about the network and what motivated you to join. Please let me know at lucie.stephens@neweconomics.org
