Although the practical activities undertaken within the process of commissioning are fairly well-understood, some of the language used is often unfamiliar to people. An important aspect of effective partnership work will therefore be the need to explain commissioning clearly to a range of people.
The resources linked to this section seek to explain the commissioning process in terms that will be familiar to:
- Parents and carers
- Children and young people
- Social care professionals
- Health professionals and GPs
- Schools and the education sector
- Providers of services
