This free one day event offers an exciting opportunity to explore the value of commissioning whilst managing ever more complex challenges to deliver better social justice outcomes.

During the day delegates from all sectors will consider how to respond to the commissioning environment more effectively by engaging and empowering service users, communities and policy makers alike.

A range of quality speakers will also offer examples of innovative commissioning approaches and service delivery models that demonstrate the integral value of commissioning. Speakers include the Department for Work and Pensions, Black Thrive Project, Government Outcomes Lab, St Giles Trust, Glasgow City Council, Golden Key, Community Circles and Revolving Doors.

Throughout the day delegates will have opportunities to network and engage with peers and learn and share good practice.
