Reflective practice and co-production: Community of Enquiry

25 places are available in this session. Places will be allocated on a first come, first allocated basis.

What is DEEP?

DEEP is a co-production approach to gathering, exploring, and using diverse types of evidence in learning and development using story and dialogue-based methods.

The challenge of co-production

Whilst reflective practice and co-production are widely promoted, making them a reality can be challenging. We all see the world differently and bringing well-intentioned people together to talk can end up leaving everyone feeling frustrated if the conversations do not go well.

Community of enquiry as a method to support co-production

Community of enquiry supports people to explore a topic in a way that is inclusive, yet values and supports reflective disagreement. It helps participants explore a theme or issue and generates the seeds for action.

This session

This half-day session will introduce people to the key principles behind community of enquiry and share how to set-up and facilitate a community. The session is highly interactive, and people will learn from being involved in a community of enquiry within the session.

Who might benefit from the session?The session will benefit people working in social care who are interested in co-production, team building, consultation, and engagement. It will also be useful for trainers who want to help learners from social care engage with topics and issues. Interested researchers will learn a useful method to co-produce research questions.
