12 steps to embedding social value priorities in health and care commissioning

This 12 step approach to embedding social value in health and care commissioning is informed by the learning from Social Enterprise UK (SEUK) and IVAR’s joint three-year Health and Social Value Programme which worked in 12 areas with Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), local authorities and the Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector supporting the implementation of the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012. It sets out a tried and tested framework for commissioning authorities, VCSE and service users to agree, and implement social value priorities in health and care commissioning.
