Draft Guidance – Integrated Commissioning of Services for Families, Children and Young People with complex needs.pdf – Sep-2018
This guidance is the first produced by the National Commissioning Board in Wales targeted at Children’s Commissioning. The focus of the guidance is in recognition of the increasing challenges facing public sector commissioners of children’s services at the highest end of the continuum of need. This is where an integrated approach from partner agencies is essential to successfully negotiate a path through the potential barriers and complexities of creating a cohesive child centred package of care and support that delivers positive outcomes for the child / young person and their family.
