We collaborate and innovate in social care to improve the lives of adults and children, working with a wide range of partners and people with lived experience.
Co-production week 2026
SCIE’s Co-production Week 2026 runs from Monday 29 June to Friday 3 July, championing the power of co-production in shaping better, more inclusive social care. This year’s theme is Care Equity — exploring what it means to ensure that everyone, regardless of their background, identity or circumstances, has equal access to high-quality social care.
You can also explore early insights from SCIE’s new research on inequities in adult social care.

Events on Zoom for Co-production week
Join SCIE for a week of inspiring, practical and thought provoking sessions exploring how co-production can drive fairer, more equitable care. Each event brings together people with lived experience, practitioners, leaders and partners to share learning, challenge thinking and shape change.
Towards Fair Care
Thursday 2 July 14:00 – 16:00
Is care fair – and if not, why not?
This interactive workshop creates space for open, honest conversations about care equity. Bringing together lived experience, carers and system partners, the session explores barriers, challenges and solutions through discussion and shared learning.
Be part of the conversation and help shape ideas that will inform future work on fairer care!
Valuing and recognising lived experience: from good intentions to fair practice
Friday 3 July, 14:00 – 15:30
How do we move from saying lived experience matters to truly valuing it?
This powerful panel tackles the realities of recognition, payment and fairness in co-production. Explore challenges such as benefits, power and trauma-informed practice and help define what good looks like.
Expect honest discussion, practical solutions and clear calls to action!
