The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) requested that Think Local Act Personal (TLAP), as part of its grant funded work programme, undertake activity to support the development of the Care Workforce
Pathway (subsequently referred to in this report as the Pathway).

In the Two Co-production Journeys document you can explore diverse approaches, real-life experiences, and practical recommendations for co-production from individuals with lived experience and staff, inspiring you to develop your own co-production approach.

This tool developed by Think Local Act Personal is aimed at leaders, commissioners, planners, clinicians and practitioners involved in designing and delivering personalised care and support planning for people with a variety of health and social care needs.

The ladder describes a series of steps towards co-production in health and social care. It supports greater understanding of the various stages of access and inclusion before full co-production is achieved. Co-production operates at many levels: strategic, service design and development and individual.
