Wolverhampton's Thematic Commissioning Approach
The following themes underpin the City of Wolverhampton Council's commitment to prevention as a part of 'Everybody's Business'.
This approach strengthens our aim to have a more sustainable, longer term view of support and needs. It influenced how commissioning can best be used to share markets to promote wellbeing, respond to demand from people for care and meet those needs for which the council is responsible.
