Co-Production is a process in which people with experience of mental health challenges, people who care about those with mental health challenges, staff members who provide mental health services work collaboratively to design a course or a scheme of work, with subsequent session plans produced as necessary.

Each co-producer should have equally valued input into the course content and the finalised documentation. All comments and opinions should be fully explored and respected with time given for a full time-limited consultation process.

Any discrepancies should be dealt with and concluded within this co-production/consultation process.

The finalised document should reflect all positive contributions made during the co-production process.

All sessions/courses should adhere to the outset fidelity criteria and contribute to mental health and wellbeing.
