This plan covers children and young people, and includes a new service model of local support arrangements to prevent admission. This explanatory note explains why local pathways are needed to improve outcomes for children and families, target public funding more effectively, and fulfil the duties under the Children and Families Act 2014.

This guidance has been developed following a project to review the commissioning arrangements for children and young people with learning disabilities and/or autism whose behaviours challenge. It aims to support local authorities and clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) to jointly commission services for children and young people with SEND as required by the Children and Families Act (2014). The guide focuses on the overall culture that needs to be in place to enable good services to flourish. It sets out seven commissioning considerations, including: visions and values, leadership, relationships, the model of service, skilled providers and staff; and an evidence base. Each section includes a description of what good looks like, provides links to further resources and concludes with recommendations for what effective action by commissioners should consist of. The guide will help commissioners and planners to review their current practice and develop an agenda for change. (Edited publisher abstract)
