This report is intended to be used as a guide for commissioners and others to better understand how to implement the ethical commissioning and procurement principles, support improvement of commissioning practice at local level, and highlight ongoing solutions for the future.

Developed in collaboration with both third sector organisations, and social work students. This resource is designed to optimise the experience of student placements for both the organisations hosting them and the students experiencing them.
