Iriss launch new series of workshops to support co-production in social services

The Institute for Research and Innovation in Social Services (Iriss) is launching Propagate – a new six-month project to embed the use of Iriss tools, particularly co-production tools, to support collaboration and conversation. 

The project will involve delivering a series of workshops to support those working in social services with an interest in gaining skills in facilitation and co-design. 

Josie Vallely, who is leading on the project, believes that tools can open up conversations, address power balances and support people to grow new skills and develop new ideas. Josie worked on the Iriss Pilotlight project, which applied co-production principles in the context of self-directed support.
