3. I’m in your space
•Everything is unfamiliar
•I feel uncomfortable
•I don’t understand what is going on
•I am not sure how to behave
•I rely on you to tell me the rules

4. I’m in my space
• The people, space and activity are familiar
• I know the unwritten rules
• I feel comfortable
• I don’t need to
think about my
behaviour
• I may forget that others feel like outsiders

5. We are in shared space
• We all feel a bit uncomfortable
• No-one knows the rules, so we have to keep
talking to agree the rules
• We may get grumpy
• We may get excited
• We are ready to think
about coproduction

7. Consultation and partnership
boards are great.
We need them.
But they are not
coproduction.

8. Coproduction cannot happen
in my space or your space.
Coproduction can
only happen in
shared space.

9. Coproduction
• We are there on the same terms.
• Anyone can initiate.
• No-one is “involving” anyone.
• We know we need each other.
• Working together is more
important than being in our
comfort zone.
• We have access to the same information

10. Language and information
To be in a shared space meeting:
• We need a shared language
(or a translator) – think how you talk
• We need access to the same
information – think Easy Read
