In this report, What Works in SEND researchers at Warwick Business School aimed to advance understanding and identify what good looks and feels like in the co-production of services for children and young people with SEND1 to inform future collaboration and innovation in SEND services. The objectives were to:
- Identify facilitators of effective co-production
- Identify barriers to effective co-production.
- Provide examples of best practice in co-production, demonstrating how and why they are effective and conditions for effective implementation.
- Explore, evaluate and understand the impact of co-production with children and young people and parent carers on the planning and reviewing of SEND services.
The research presents findings on:
- Levers and gears (facilitators);
- Frictions and hurdles (barriers) and;
- Good practice case studies.
