The children's services mapping (CSM) project

Children’s services mapping supports the development of a partnership approach to the joint commissioning, planning and delivery of services. Aims of the mapping gives you the reasons why the mapping exercise has been developed and what it sets out to achieve.

Process

CSM is an on-line data collection exercise that is carried out annually to provide information at a national, regional and local level about children’s and maternity service provision and investment. How we map explains the mapping process as it follows an annual cycle of design, data collection, analysis, reporting and review.

People
