Sixteen local authority based pilots have been set up to trial the concept of the budget-holding lead professional. The pilots are aiming to test whether better service packages for core groups of children and families could be delivered by giving lead professionals a budget with which to quickly procure goods and commission services directly from providers.

The factsheet summaries the key aspects of this two year pilot project.
