Strategic Commissioning and extra care housing

Delivered by our expert trainer and coach, this set two day programme can be tailored to your needs. Using facilitation techniques and learning from the Housing LIN's practical experience, we deliver a thorough account of what good commissioning and operational management of extra care housing and support looks like.

Who is this course for?

It is aimed at anyone who commissions (local authorities or NHS), operates or wants to manage extra care housing (social housing and private operators), and operators who already manage extra care housing.
