Abstract: In the article we explore when professionals engage in co-production with vulnerable people, which could improve the inclusiveness of public services. The study was conducted in mental health care, through a survey with co-produced scenarios, among 177 professionals in five organizational units in the Netherlands. The results show that professionals’ willingness to co-produce is primarily related to characteristics of the client, specific aspects of the treatment process and the progress of the treatment. Demographic factors such as age, gender and education do not appear to influence the willingness to co-produce to any significant degree.
