    Embed co-design: Where appropriate, use co-design to involve users and stakeholders, and demonstrate transparent, equitable decision making. Avoid tokenism by meeting people’s physical, cultural and psychological safety needs in your consultations. Maintain ongoing user engagement to keep your service fit for purpose and address changing needs over the course of people’s lives.

    Engage designers: Ensure your team has the expertise to elicit and interpret useful information from users’ personal experiences. Use service designers and user experience (UX) designers to conduct user research, map experiences and design your service to meet and surpass the needs of all users.
