The Commissioning Checklist is designed as a practical tool for commissioners from social care, education and health services who are working in partnership across their own agencies and with providers from all sectors.

It is intended both to help get started in producing a commissioning strategy and to regularly review your strategy. It is designed as a series of questions and prompts that can be used to help develop services for children living away from home that plans and delivers placements and services for them.

The checklist is divided into three parts. Part 1 prompts you to look at key area of your commissioning process, such as partnership working and funding arrangements, and how decisions are made. Part 2 will help you to identify important gaps in your data. Part 3 will enable you over time to move towards a comprehensive, multi-agency commissioning strategy.
