This section of the CIPFA CSAN website is made available for members of the network to share documentation relating to management practice in the commissioning and delivery of integrated children's services. The documents posted here have been received in response to network queries by members or as a result of research into various topics for series of workshops or the Commissioning Support Group. Some items have been obtained as a result of web searches.

All documents are posted to the sited as submitted to CSAN and are intended for the use of CSAN members only. No attempt has been made to edit documents, to identify and delete confidential information that may have been supplied, or to make judgements as to the quality of the material provided.

The documents do not necessarily represent 'good' practice but present current and emerging practice: they are provided simply to help CSAN members with their own management developments.

Contact details for further information about any of the documents posted here can be obtained from Shane.Flynn@ipf.co.uk

Any members who wish to contribute examples of their own current practice for the benefit of other CSAN members, or wish to update documents already included on the site, are invited to do so at any time by forwarding electronic copies to the e-mail address given above.
