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
Monday 4th August 10am-4pm – in person at South Yorkshire Housing Association
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.
- Over the course of the day we will look to equip you with the knowledge of what co-production looks like day to day, demonstrating it’s 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.
- It’s not just about the training on the day itself either. We will also provide you with the tools, resources and support to help you overcome ongoing challenges as well as embed co-production as a normal way of working towards reaching better outcomes and a more wide-reaching impact for everyone involved.
