- Substantive understanding and experience in co-production.
- Substantive knowledge of the relevant legislation for health and social care and a sound understanding of how it is operationally applied.
- Substantive understanding of power dynamics in large organisations and how it affects engagement strategies and tactics.
- Substantive knowledge and understanding of people who use health and social care services and the power imbalances that exist when these services are involved in people’s lives.
