Birmingham: sustaining a group of co-producers
Published practitioner account with named client testimony · 2022–2025
Starting situation
Birmingham commissioned a co-produced review of day opportunities following the pandemic.
Work undertaken
RedQuadrant recruited and supported people with lived experience and carers to co-lead the review. The published account describes a second phase and a 23-member Empowering People Team.
What is reported
The account reports that findings informed commissioning and improvement plans, and that members continued into other co-production work. The client describes growing confidence and further involvement.
Evidence and limits
These are practitioner and client accounts, rather than an independent impact evaluation. The published evidence does not isolate effects on all day-opportunity users.
Working artefact and source
Public case account, pp. 1–4: engagement, reports, and subsequent work
Follow-up evidence
What decisions changed, whose views were missed, and what resources now sustain the group?
