Abstract

This is a report for anyone considering working with children and young people using a co-production, participatory or collaborative methodology. It also acts as a tool to document the IAP project's use of co-production over time to measure change and to enable reflection for the IAP project workers and partners. The report is based on three years of work within a five year project and explores to what extent the work the project has carried out could be described as co-production, collaboration or participation. The report is focused on the various tests of change the Inclusion as Prevention project has completed, is currently working on, or that remain in the planning stages. It is supplemented by the reflections of a group of young people, who all work with IAP across different tests of change, when they were asked to consider how they felt about co-production and their work in IAP. The young people who took part in a session exploring their views and experiences were keen that their comments and descriptions of what makes good co-production be available as a one-page visualisation that would provide a summary for all, and then those who feel they want to know more could continue on to read the full report. As a result of this request, the Ladders without the Snakes game has been included as an example of supporting a group of young people to co-produce together.
