At ABP Cares, we’ve always believed that the best care solutions are built with people, not just for them. That’s why we’re proud to be at the forefront of Haringey Council’s groundbreaking co-production initiative, working hand-in-hand with service users, carers, professionals, and the wider community to reimagine adult social care in our borough. As one of the first care providers to actively engage in these collaborative meetings, we’re helping to set a powerful example—and we invite others to join us in this transformative journey.
What is Co-Production?
Co-production in adult social care is more than a buzzword—it’s a fundamental shift in how services are designed and delivered. By fostering collaborative partnerships between those who use services, those who provide them, and the broader community, co-production ensures that every voice is heard and valued equally. Together, we’re creating responsive, person-centered care that reflects the real needs, preferences, and aspirations of Haringey’s diverse population.
As Haringey Council outlines, this approach is rooted in mutual respect, transparency, and trust. It’s about breaking down barriers, sharing decision-making power, and empowering individuals to shape their own care pathways. From initial design to final delivery and evaluation, co-production ensures that services are not just effective but truly meaningful.
Our Role in Haringey’s Co-Production Journey
When Haringey Council launched its co-production strategy, we knew this was an opportunity to lead by example. By participating in these meetings, we’ve contributed firsthand to discussions that are shaping policies, services, and support systems across the borough. Here’s how we’re making an impact:
- Amplifying Voices: We’ve advocated for the inclusion of service users and carers in every stage of decision-making, ensuring their lived experiences directly inform care strategies.
- Collaborative Problem-Solving: By working alongside local authorities, health partners, and community groups, we’ve helped tackle complex challenges—from improving accessibility to fostering innovation in care delivery.
- Building Bridges: Our involvement has strengthened partnerships across sectors, creating a more integrated and sustainable social care system that benefits everyone.
These meetings have reinforced our belief that diverse perspectives drive better outcomes. Whether it’s brainstorming inclusive communication methods or co-designing training programs for carers, every conversation is a step toward a fairer, more compassionate system.
Why Co-Production Matters
Co-production isn’t just about improving services—it’s about transforming relationships. By valuing residents and carers as equal partners, we’re fostering a culture of empowerment and accountability. When people feel heard and respected, they’re more likely to engage actively in their care, leading to better health outcomes and stronger community connections.
Haringey’s strategy also emphasizes learning and adaptation. As we continue to evaluate and refine our approach, we’re committed to staying responsive to the evolving needs of our community. This flexibility ensures that co-production remains a dynamic, living process—not a one-time initiative.
Join Us in Building a Better Haringey
Haringey Council is calling for wider engagement in co-production, and we wholeheartedly echo this call. To create a social care system that truly works for everyone, we need more voices at the table: care providers, voluntary organisations, community leaders, and—most importantly—those who use services every day.
If you’re passionate about shaping a future where care is inclusive, innovative, and deeply rooted in community needs, now is the time to get involved. Together, we can ensure Haringey’s adult social care strategy reflects the hopes and priorities of the people it serves.
