Are you interested in becoming part of a co-production group?

We are inviting people to express their interest in being part of a co-production group to help shape our upcoming Adult Social Care Local Survey.

What is the Adult Social Care Local Survey?

To help us understand the views and experience of people we support and carers, we have a local adult social care survey which is issued following the completion of an assessment process. Included in this, we ask people to rate the information they received, how they found the assessment process, how they felt about their worker, how involved they felt in the process, and how they felt about the services they received. We use the feedback to celebrate what’s working well and identify opportunities to learn and improve. 

Working together

This group will play a vital role in designing a meaningful and inclusive survey that reflects the lived experiences, needs, and priorities of adults drawing on social care in Solihull. We welcome participants who draw on care and support, carers, and people who work in care and support. 

This project runs from October 2025 to April 2026.  The next meeting will take place on Wednesday 10 December, 10am to 12noon at the Council House. Meetings take place every six to eight weeks.

What is co-production?

Co-production is when people come together as equals to make decisions or create services that work for them all. It is about creating an equal partnership between people with care and support needs, carers and people who work in care and support. Working together requires people to actively listen, share ideas and collaborate. 

Co-production involves sharing power and taking risks, confronting issues together and working as a group to find solutions that work for all. Recognising that everyone has different skills and expertise, but decisions should be made together, so everyone has a say on what happens. It can happen at an individual, service and strategic level. For example, people may work together to co-produce a person’s care and support plan or a group of people could work together on a strategy.
