Co-production is where professionals and service users work together to design and run services. It includes full involvement of people with lived experience in decision-making, service delivery, training, recruitment, management and governance as well as representing the service externally and internally. Co-production requires organisations to share power with the people who use services to enable them to play a key role in designing and running them.

Under our Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Strategy 2021, we aim to co-produce strategy, policy, process and service delivery with those with lived experience of Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (DASV).   We are working with key services and people with lived experience to make sure in the next few years we have true co-production in Bradford.

If you would like to contribute to this work, and you have lived experience of domestic abuse or sexual violence, feel free to get in touch via: DASVcoproduction@bradford.gov.uk
