In June 2017, NAFP undertook a survey to determine the views of our members on local authority commissioning practice across the three nations. It was completed by independent fostering providers caring for around 5,000 children in foster care. The survey asked for views on commissioning consortia and commissioning undertaken by individual local authorities in England, Scotland and Wales and included specific questions designed by commissioners. We asked members to grade local authority performance on various components of the commissioning process using the four judgements of inadequate, requires improvement, good and outstanding. Alongside the online survey, we also consulted with members in regional and country meetings and through in-depth on-to-one conversations.
