A practice guide providing advice on what needs to be considered for progressing towards ‘transformative co-production’ in mental health services. The advice is presented as three ‘steps’: understanding the context and environment in which co-production is going to take place; creating the right conditions for co-production to work; and working together and achieving parity and genuine collaboration. Each step is illustrated by practice lessons from what different people and organisations in the field have tried and tested, with direct quotes from the examples to illustrate key points. The guide also includes three short case studies from different mental health settings, which are: experience-based co-design on an NHS Trust inpatient mental health ward; improving the physical health of people admitted to a mental health ward; and peer-led mental health support provider project. The guide will be particularly useful for mental health service users, carers and their organisations as well as practitioners and managers who want to engage with and understand transformative coproduction. It is one of a series of publications produced as part of the NDTi’s ‘Peoples Voice’ programme with funding from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation has been co-produced with people who use services. A checklist of key questions to consider and actions that can be taken when thinking about and starting a co-productive project has also been produced alongside this guide.
