strategic commissioning - implementing the doran review

Posted by 4 on the 28th October, 2013

Scottish Government has set up online access so that everyone with an interest can follow progress on how outcomes for children with complex additional support needs are to be improved.The Strategic Commissioning Project web pages provide an overview and reports on how Scottish Government propose to implement the findings of the Doran Review.

The project has five aims including the over-arching one of providing better outcomes for  children and young people with complex additional support needs, through "an improved system of aligning services to needs, and efficient use of public funding".

This piece of work has the potential to have a huge impact on the education and support of children and young people with complex support needs so it is really important that the views of all concerned are heard and can influence future provision.

A couple of useful starting points are to read the Project Initiation Document and the paper submitted on Needs Analysis

Stuart Aitken is a member of the Project Board representing CALL Scotland, Scottish Sensory Centre and Enquire as three nationla centres funded by Scottish Government. Details on membership and other information can be found in the associated documents.

For those who are interested in finding out about the lead up to this implementation phase, Peter Doran's report The Right Help at the Right Time in the Right Place, and Scottish Government's response to that report, Meeting the needs of Scotland's children and young people with complex additional support needs, offer useful background.
