NCCTC

The nccTc was started in 1994 by members of the ADSS Commissioning and Contracting Regional Groups bringing together staff to share and develop good practice in commissioning and contracting. The original conference was generic and covered both adults and children’s services. In 2003, in response to requests from commissioning and contracting staff, the conference was divided into adults and children’s services, so there are now two events each year, plus other specialist events and seminars all offering best practice at value for money prices. The conference helps to encourage networking and multi agency working to help commission and deliver better services for users. The events also look to engage with the independent sector to help develop better working relationships and service development. The event is organised by representatives from Local Authorities, Health, DfES and in collaboration with academic leaders in the field of social care policy.
