<p>The Department for Education has not issued specific guidance on joint commissioning
for speech and language therapy. Chapter three of the 0 – 25 Special Educational Needs
and Disability Code of Practice 2015 provides guidance on working together for joint
outcomes which includes guidance on joint commissioning. The department worked closely
with the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists when developing the guidance.
The Royal College also issued its own guidance to speech and language therapists on
the new duties placed on health partners by the Children and Families Act 2014.</p><p>

resources on joint commissioning provided by the Council for Disabled Children, the
National Development Team for Inclusion and Mott Macdonald.</p><p> </p>
