This learning series provides an introduction to the potential of co-design, co-production and peer-to-peer responses; to support the co-design of peer-to-peer solutions and other kinds of lived experience involvement.

You’ll learn with Chris Vanstone, Barbara Binns and Danielle Abbott, all experienced practitioners in co-design and peer-to-peer.

Together they’ll help you get clear on what it takes to do co‑design and peer-to-peer well. They'll share their favourite tools and frameworks so you can realise co‑design and peer-to-peer solutions in your work, your organisation, and the broader system.

The course contains reflective activities you can do alone as well as activities that you can run with your team.
