Partnership & Joint Commissioning

This report, produced by independent think-tank nef and Scope, presents examples of innovations developed by local authorities and providers that show how services can improve disabled people's lives and save money. It is about local innovation in services for disabled people. This means 'doing services differently' so that they help make the lives of disabled people better; giving them greater choice and control, enabling them to participate equally in society and modelling social change.

This guidance is useful to people wanting to understand how the whole system needs to be changed in order to improve outcomes for children, young people and families. It will be of particular interest to those looking to improve outcomes through personalisation and personal budgets, as well as those concerned about the future of specialist services for particular groups of children and young people.
