Our commissioner study is aiming to develop a better understanding of commissioners’ experiences of commissioning services to prevent and address child and adolescent mental health problems. To do this, we are speaking to commissioners about how they develop an understanding of child and adolescent mental health needs and their approach to planning and adapting services for child and adolescent mental health.
The findings will be used to help facilitate discussions around how we can improve resources to better support commissioners in their roles moving forward. The findings will also be shared with key stakeholders and used to improve services for children and young people.
We recently finished interviewing commissioners about their views and we’re analysing the results. We would like to thank everyone who took the time to share with us. We look forward to sharing the findings soon!
