About our team
The team behind the Real Care Deal is a partnership between Norfolk Council and Co-production specialists Curators of Change. They have been working together since 2022 to create an ethical framework that truly serves the community and improves the day to day lives of the most vulnerable.
Curators of Change
The Curators of Change team are a group of independent co-production specialists who work across health and social care to make the system more human.
Taking inspiration from decades of professional and lived experience and a little bit of pirate courage, they are on a mission to challenge the future of health and social care for the better.
Coproduction has no magic formula. At it’s core, it’s simple: good human relationships, honest conversations, and a willingness to be vulnerable.
There are no life changing toolkits, or visions or strategies, co-production takes time and patience. Curators of Change commit to being transparent, curious and courageous, to working outside of the confines of current system and process driven ways of working – choosing instead to deliberately to focus on the relational BEFORE the transactional way of doing things.
