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.

This guide explores what’s stopping people from attempting co-production and what can help, using the experience of people involved in co-production in different settings across England. It shares learning about: where and how things are working well, the features of different models of co-production, leadership and culture change, how co-production contributes to delivering better experiences and outcomes for people with mental health conditions, and others’ views of hurdles and how to overcome them. The guide draws on existing guides and frameworks and examples from practice. The guide, jointly commissioned with the National Development Teams, aims to help people who commission, design or deliver mental health services to understand co-production better and reflect on their practice.

This tailored resource aims to support the implementation of the NICE guideline on transition between inpatient mental health settings and community or care home settings (NG 53). It draws on the guideline recommendations, local practice examples, and information and learning points from discussions at a workshop attended by people with roles in mental health and social care and people who used mental health services. The resource focuses on three key areas identified as crucial in providing effective support for adults moving to and being discharged from inpatient mental health settings. These are: delivering services that are person-centred and focused on recovery; ensuring effective communication between teams and with people using services, families and carers; and co-producing comprehensive care plans that meet people's changing needs. Links to relevant resources are included. (Edited publisher abstract)

This study examines how different types of supported accommodation meet the needs of people with mental health problems. Supported accommodation covers a wide range of different types of housing, including intensive 24 hour support, hostel accommodation, and accommodation with only occasional social support or assistance provided. The document focuses on five approaches to providing supported accommodation, including: Care Support Plus; integrated support; housing support for people who have experienced homeless; complex needs; low-level step down accommodation; and later life. The report draws on the expertise of people living and working in these services across England, and presents their views of both building and service related issues. It sets out a number of recommendations, focusing on: quality; co-production; staff recruitment and training; policy informed practice; and resourced, appropriate accommodation.

One of a suite of three resources published as part of the ‘Social Work for Better Mental Health’ initiative, this document provides guidance on practical ways to gather service user and carer feedback about their experiences of social work practice within mental health services. The guidance is based on research into what service users and carers value and find effective in social work practice; research literature on service user quality of life indicators and recovery measures; practice feedback tools from social work education and patient satisfaction surveys from general and mental health. It proposes two specific approaches to gathering feedback: implementing a tailored ‘experience of social work’ feedback questionnaire; and gathering feedback through collaborative conversations about practice between social workers and people using services or carers. The collaborative conversations approach includes good practice in using co-production as a framework, recording conversations and using observer, the role of peer support. The reasons for choosing these approaches and how they fit into existing regulatory requirements and good practice are discussed. Example questionnaires are included in the appendices..

For each theme, examples of good practice are provided. (Edited publisher abstract)
