What do we mean by co-design research?

Co-design isn’t just a buzzword, it’s about sharing power in research. This video breaks down how people with lived experience and researchers work side-by-side through every stage of the research process. From its roots in 1970s design to today’s calls for “nothing about us without us”, co-design is about making research more inclusive, ethical, and impactful. Learn what substantive co-design really looks like, and how it goes beyond tokenism to create research that truly reflects community needs.
