Skills for Care & DHSC: Commissioning services for autistic people document
A cross-system framework for commissioning social care, health and children’s services for autistic people 2021
This framework is for commissioners who work in social care, health, education and children’s commissioning services for autistic people, to help them to make informed commissioning decisions and improve the outcomes for autistic people and their families. It explains the things that you need to analyse, the things that you need to do, and who/what organisations you should engage with, as well as links to useful guidance and information, to help you to identify and plan the changes needed to improve your commissioning practices and deliver person-centred outcomes for local autistic people.

Local authorities and NHS bodies must not only take account of this guidance, but also follow the relevant sections or provide a good reason why they are not doing so (one example might be because they can prove they are providing an equivalent or better alternative) (page5).
