| Annotation | Alongside 'A vision for adult social care: capable communities and active citizens' and the renewed partnership agreement between government and the social care sector, 'Think local, act personal', this briefing explores what is meant by market shaping and proposes a simple framework for understanding and planning market shaping activity. It sets out a range of practical approaches that local authorities and their partners can take to shaping local markets of care and support. It illustrates examples of innovative practice in market shaping and provider development; and describes delivery mechanisms that enable greater flexibility and choice and control within commissioned services. The intention is to support the wider application of best practice models and approaches by local commissioners and providers of social care in both the third and independent sectors. The document should be read alongside a series of papers developed by the National Market Development Forum (NMDF) that examine some of these issues in greater detail. (RH). |
