| Annotation | The term "co-production" refers to active input to service delivery by service users, as well as - or instead of - those who have traditionally provided them. This review points to the relevance of co-production to recent social care policy initiatives such as the personalisation agenda, the work of Local Involvement Networks (LINks), self-directed support, and individual budgets (IBs). It includes examples of co-production in practice in Australia and France, as well as in the UK (for which, see the websites www.timebanking.org or www.nef.org.uk). The strengths and limitations of the co-production models of care are highlighted: staff should be trained in the benefits, and service users should be encouraged to access co-production initiatives.
