How we can help

we help you plan and do co-design and co-production

through training, supervision, facilitation and strategic advice

here’s what we offer with our collaborators:

1 co-design supervision and project support

Regular supervision can sustain and improve co-design practices and practitioners. While leading co-design is a relatively new job, organisations and funders have a responsibility to support staff leading co-design. Co-design facilitators and coordinators can benefit from structured support to learn, manage and stay ethical.

We offer three kinds of supervision:

We also offer strategic advice for people commissioning, leading and funding co-design and community engagement projects and frameworks.

📋 series description

in this series you’ll bring your own knowledge and learn: 

  • what co-design is and is not

  • how to recognise co-design and tell it apart from other design and engagement approaches

  • about some of the different roles within co-design

  • about the Model of Care for Co-design and how to apply it

  • about mindsets, practical frameworks, tools and methods you can use (even if you’re not able to do a full co-design process)

We bring deep knowledge of co-design in health, social care and justice. Get in touch.

  • “Having had various experiences with co-design, what I appreciated most in KA’s workshop was the model of care for co-design, which provides a practical and empathic blueprint for success at all stages of co-design from pre-planning to follow-up. KA’s approach is inclusive and trauma-informed, and is unique in that it enables people from diverse disciplines to understand and embed design principles for effective co-design. KA is an engaging and thoughtful facilitator. I feel much more confident in navigating co-design and recommend this to anyone who values the relational aspects of co-design.”

    Dr Patricia Cullen, Population Health UNSW

    “I love that there is so much opportunity to focus on things like safety and inclusion in different elements of practice. The thing I am constantly struck by is the kindness and spaciousness in which you hold a space, how you model what you are teaching and how you balance sharing, boundaries, vulnerability and trusting the group to stay connected and focus.”

    Lisa Fitzgerald, VicHealth


    ”You've brought us an external perspective that outlined the rigor (and visual tools to memorialize this rigor) one can take to ensure people are cared for as we design with them. The way you modeled how to do work that makes space for all of our humanness, from principles down to checklists is inspiring.”

    Emily Herrick, 18F (US Federal Government)
