  1. Welcome Aim for the day. The aim of the day is to provide delegates with information on the commissioning process in relation to the provision of services for children and young people.

  2. Outcomes for the day. Knowledge and understanding of the commissioning process. Identify local plans, priorities and structures and consider how these can contribute to individual/groups/organisations plans. Locate sources of further information and advice, locally and nationally. Network with colleagues from your region and identify possible sources for information gathering and advice. Consider how the voice of the third sector is represented on structures that influence the commissioning process in your area.

  3. Understanding the structures and systems.

  4. Children’s Trusts are local partnerships which bring together the organisations responsible for services for children, young people and families in a shared commitment to improving children’s lives. The term “Children’s Trust” applies to the whole system of children’s services, covering the work of partner agencies at every level, from the development of the overall strategy to the delivery of front-line services. Children’s Trusts are managed in different ways. Most have formal Boards with representatives from all the partners The strongest Children’s Trusts already have clear joint working relationships with other services like health, schools, youth justice and the third sector. Children's Trusts

  5. Local Strategic Partnerships and Local Area Agreements The Children’s Trust sits within the wider Local Strategic Partnership. LSPs operate at local authority level, bring together the public, private, community and voluntary sectors and are responsible for establishing a vision for an area and for agreeing priorities for improvement in the local area agreement (LAA). The Children's Trust is central to identifying and agreeing LAA targets that relate to children and young people. The LAA contains the targets and the Children and Young People’s Plan sets out the strategy for achieving them, including the responsibilities of each partner.

  6. Children and Young People’s Plan The CYPP sets the strategic commissioning framework within which partners will, together or individually, ensure delivery of services which improve outcomes for children and young people and families in the area. CYPP regulations require Each local authority are required to prepare a CYPP Each plan shall set out the improvements which the local authority intends to make during the period of the plan to the well-being of children and young persons in regard to the five Every Child Matters outcomes.

  7. Commissioning should be focused on achieving better outcomes for young people, with the commissioner acting as champion for them and commissioning services to meet their needs. However, the Call for Evidence highlighted the continuing difficulties third sector organisations face in accessing local authority commissioning arrangements Youth Sector Support Arrangements Response to the Call for Evidence
