Recommendation R17: Co-production training
From Muckamore Abbey Hospital Inquiry Report, published 18 June 2026.
Recommendation
Creating a co-produced care environment, where people with learning disabilities, families and professionals work collaboratively, requires a fundamental shift in practice. As well as organisational commitments, staff will need education and facilitation to transition to this way of working. Specific training in co-production should be designed and delivered to all those caring for people with learning disabilities and autistic people. Service users and families should be offered the opportunity to attend where appropriate.
