Presentation Title: ‘Who cares in co-design?’ 

Outline: How many people can’t be included or stay included in your design work? Kelly Ann will explore the practical steps that organisations, design leaders and facilitators need to ensure that everyone involved in collaborative design feels safe enough to learn and share. Kelly Ann will present a ‘Model of Care for Co-design’ featuring practices and stories of applying care through trauma-informed, dignified, respectful and relational practices. This is a talk for everyone who works with people – not only those working in social design
