User-driven commissioning: Building on the 'lived experience' of disabled people

Disability Rights UK have published a report: User-driven commissioning: Building on the 'lived experience' of disabled people. The report sets out the background to and learning from an informal national programme on user-driven commissioning. The aim of which was to bring together key stakeholders involved in six local initiatives that have been taking forward this approach. The report will help roll out this approach in social care and health, it will turn the rhetoric about user-centred and user-driven support into reality. It draws on the development paths taken on the six sites as well as discussion between a wide range of co-productive service users, disabled people, commissioners and friends and supporters.
