Consultancy services - Resources & Commissioning and SEND

London Councils represents London's 32 borough councils and the City of London. It is a cross party organisation that works on behalf of all of its member authorities regardless of political persuasion. London Councils makes the case to government, the Mayor and others to get the best deal for Londoners and to ensure that our member authorities have the resources, freedoms and powers to do the best possible job for their residents and local businesses.

London Councils is looking to appoint a contractor to deliver consultancy services - Resources & Commissioning and SEND.

The LIIA programme is supported by London's 33 local authorities and the Department for Education as a key vehicle for improving outcomes for children. LIIA works closely with London Councils as the infrastructure body which supports collaboration between authorities in the capital. London Councils is commissioning this work on behalf of ALDCS.

LIIA is entering its fourth year of operation and is seeking to embed an infrastructure for supporting children's services to innovate and improve through a range of sector-led improvement activity. LIIA specifically promotes activities to address the ALDCS priorities which are: adolescent safeguarding, workforce, SEND, Care Leaving and finance/resources. Details of the LIIA programme of activities can be found on the LIIA website at www.liia.london.

The aim of this project is to enable London's children's services to work together to learn, share and constructively challenge each other to ensure services for children in London continue to improve.
