Resource bank

The resource bank contains a wide range of resources on commissioning and children’s services. Researchers who specialise in children's services have quality-assured all the documents. It contains useful tools for anybody interested in this area. We are continually updating the website and building a bank of resources for you to use.

The resource bank contains an essential reading list. This includes key documents for anybody interested in children’s services commissioning. The essential reading list has been developed with the expert resource group. The experts in this group have specialist knowledge of children’s services and commissioning and they work together to agree on the resources available here.

We are also developing a commissioning support ebook containing chapters by people involved in commissioning who want to share their knowledge.

If you would like to suggest a document to go in the resource bank, please fill out the content request form and send it with the suggested document to: kirsty.lennox@commissioningsupport.org.uk
