The aim of this resource is to support effective social care commissioning and inform people who are impacted on by the decisions made by commissioners.

 

We are dedicated to uncovering the latest trends and developments in the world of social care commissioning by drawing on experts and specialists from around the world, including experts by experience.

​

We are passionate about sharing innovative practice to inform decisions and to continue improving content for a wide range of stakeholders.

 

This is a non-profit making site, and does not generate revenue.  As our reach expands, the intention is to provide research services that can be tailored to any aspect of the commissioning cycle and can cover a range of topics from services that support children, young people and families to Disabled adults and older people.
