On 5th February 2020, Scotland made a promise that all children would grow up loved, safe, and respected. (The Promise reports). A key component to make this a reality is the co-designing of services with children, young people and families. The Promise Scotland offers a range of support and resources to help organisations in Scotland to make the changes necessary to #keepthepromise.

Our Co- Design Essentials series aims to provide facilitators with the skills, tools and confidence they need for successful co-desIgn journeys.

This Facilitating session aims to :

● Increase understanding of the different elements involved in facilitating Co -Design sessions and what this can look like, in practice, in the room with your co-designers.

● Increase knowledge of planning and preparation required for facilitating successful co-design

● Increase awareness of how you 'show up' as a facilitator

● Increase awareness of group and power dynamics and how to manage tricky moments

This is the second in a series of three sessions which can be accessed on a stand-alone or course basis.

This session is aimed at anyone who is thinking about starting a co-design process or wants a reflective space to consider their current practice. As a pilot series we would also welcome seasoned co-designers to provide feedback on how we might further develop these sessions.
