Our commissioning approach for adults, children and families in Gateshead - commissioning priorities 2024-2025

These are essential for delivering the benefits of a strengths based social work model and potentially achieving significant preventative value. The volunteer led services in the community will be central to the major partnership project with the National Development Team for Inclusion (NDTi). There will be key roles for commissioning in developing the capacity and infrastructure within communities, in collaboration with Public Health and other partners. The NDTi initiative and strengths-based working is aligned to the Medium Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) trajectory for reductions in spending on Adult Social Care over the next five years.
