Training opportunities with Changing Futures are available and open to all frontline staff, volunteers, team leaders, managers, and any relevant partners working in multi-disadvantage support services in Sheffield.
A Changing Futures Introductory Approach to Co-production in Practice
Tuesday 21st October 2025 10:00-16:00 online (via Zoom)
The overall aims of this training are:
- To help associated services across Sheffield develop a consistent understanding of what Co-production is and why it’s such a beneficial approach to improving the way that systems & services work to support individuals facing multiple disadvantage
- To equip you with the knowledge of what Co-production looks like day to day, demonstrating its effectiveness not just through theory but in practice. This will help you to create a culture of ‘working with’ the people your service intends to serve rather than ‘doing to’ them
- To provide you with the tools, resources and support needed to go away and overcome ongoing challenges
- To help embed Co-production as a normal way of working so you can achieve better outcomes and a wider reaching impact for everyone involved.
