How to commission the adult social care workforce: A practical guide for commissioners

This guide provides advice, information and examples of good practice about workforce issues for those involved in commissioning adult social care. It takes you around the activities in four quadrants of the commissioning cycle – Analyse, Plan, Do and Review - with the main focus on analysis as the bedrock of the process. At the end of our discussion of each quadrant, we set out key considerations for commissioners and provide links to useful resources. By going through this process, commissioners will establish better intelligence and make more informed and proactive workforce decisions.

The guide is suitable for use as a:

  • Handbook for information and advice about the key elements of the commissioning cycle in relation to workforce planning and development.
  • Travel guide, showing you what to look out for, where to go, who and what to ask.
  • Checklist for action and resources.
