The Life I Want
The Life I Want Public Social Partnership was initiated in 2013 and is committed to the modernisation of day services in Glasgow for adults with Learning Disabilities. This commitment is not only a response to Self-Directed Support legislation, which is designed to enable service users to exercise choice and control over their care and support arrangements, including choice of provider, but also because it was clear to partner organisations that services needed to change to meet the aspirations and needs of the people who use them.

Falkirk Council is committed to adopting PSP as its process of choice in supporting radical redesign of services. The Council was aspiring to a cohesive fostering service made up of internal and external providers that would meet the best needs of fostered children.The contract for foster care services was used to test out the PSP commissioning model. The framework developed through co-creation with providers was piloted for a year, and now contracts have been signed with successful providers.
Public Social Partnerships in Falkirk
Falkirk Council is one of the first local authorities in Scotland to embed a wide-ranging approach to strategic commissioning based on the Public Social Partnership (PSP) model. The development of strategic commissioning framework based on PSP principles has been informed by practical consideration and testing of the model within Children’s Services and other areas. Already this approach appears to have brought significant shared learning and benefits for public and third sector partners.
