New Co-production guide

Our Co-production Task and Finish Group, along with Commissioners and Change Managers, have developed a new and simple guide called " A Co-production guide for Integrated Adult Social Care in Devon".

The guide outlines what the Co-production is and what it isn't, benefits and principals and the 6 steps to Co-productive working. 

You can find it here- Co-production guide
