Education Commissioning Briefing

The briefing paper contains information on subjects such as:

• Data – what kind of information and intelligence to use that can help inform your education commissioning decisions (for example health needs assessments and demographics)

• Funding – how education is paid for and what sources of funding there are

• Process – the formal, staged process of commissioning (rather than simply purchasing) education.

The briefing paper has been designed to provide information and support to education commissioners and those colleagues who need to have an understanding of education commissioning
