Community resilience and co-production research report

'Doing with, not to' is the report resulting from research commissioned by NHS Education Scotland and carried out by SCDC into community resilience and co-production.  The research revolved around a practice exchange event in May 2011 involving Scottish projects carrying out work in the fields of community resilience and co-production, service providers, policy planners and others interested in sharing information.  Participants took part in a story-based exercise which highlighted some of the opportunities, benefits and barriers of co-producing services.  Based on the practice exchange, the report explores the connections between community resilience and co-production and also offers helpful definitions for these ideas and other related terms.
