BDCVS is currently exploring how commissioning operates in Barking & Dagenham.
We have asked the council a number of questions based on the queries groups have raised with us. We are now awaiting the answers.
We will then be working with national agencies. We will be exploring what more we can do to unpick better how commissioning works in Barking & Dagenham.
If you would like to be involved in the project please do get in touch info@bdcvs.org.uk.
