Need to be confident that engagement has been meaningful and is genuine, that community have been informed about the nature of the plans, what might be at stake, how realistic ideas are. Need to be sure that work done has been thorough, well thought-out and executed and realistic, also that the results have been effectively analysed and are factual.

Stakeholders have equal responsibility for the creation and realisation of any research project

Researchers

Researchers need to be trained properly to perform the work they're doing, to engage properly and sympathetically. Also should know how to analyse.

Co-production is not and should not be something that tokenistic but actually enables people to contribute and equitably create/ design/ produce.

Co production should not be actions, policies or gestures that are symbolic, create an illusion of inclusion/diversity or a check box on a funding application
