Family Strategic Partnership Commissioning Survey - VCSES

The Family Strategic Partnership (FSP) is a consortium of four organisations (Action for Prisoners’ Families, Barnardo’s, Children England, and the Family and Parenting Institute) that have come together to share their vision and experience in the family Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise Sector (VCSES). The two year partnership is funded by the Department for Education.

As part of its commitment to informing the Government about key issues impacting on the VCSES, the FSP is conducting a nationwide survey of commissioning practice in family services. The aim of this research is to highlight ways in which the commissioning process for family services can be improved for both the VCSES and local authorities. We will present our findings to key stakeholders and will use our final report to inform commissioning policy and practice in England.

Please complete this survey if you work within the VCSES and have responsibility for, or some experience of, local authority commissioning. The survey will take no more than 15 minutes to complete and will allow us to reflect a range of viewpoints within our final report. All responses will be treated strictly in confidence and no organisation or individual will be identified in the report.

Thank you for your time.
