Islington strategic commissioning

This section includes useful documents and information about our strategic commissioning of Adult Social Care within Islington.

• Islington Commissioning Framework - This sets out standards for commissioning to be applied across departments on how we will undertake commissioning, including our engagement with colleagues across the organisation, residents and wider stakeholders.
• Joint Strategic Needs Assessment - A Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) is a way local authorities, the NHS and other public sector partners work together to understand the current and future health and wellbeing needs of the local population and identify future priorities.

Strategies

We are working with residents, council departments, and a range of local partners - including from health and voluntary and community sectors - to develop some key strategies.

These are data and evidence-led with residents at the heart, shaped by what residents tell us matter most to them. These strategies will underpin our work over the coming years.

The strategies being developed include: Islington Dementia Strategy, Adult Social Care Accommodation Strategy, Islington All-Age Autism Strategy and Housing with Care and Support Strategy.

If you want to be involved in the development of any of these strategies, email uci@islington.gov.uk.
