You'll also find an introduction to some of the policies that the Council has surrounding childcare and social benefits. One of the most important documents is the Joint Strategic Needs Assessments (JSNA). 

Joint Strategic Needs Assessment

The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) is a process that helps us understand and describe the health, care and wellbeing needs of people in Liverpool, both now and in the future.

And agreeing what these problems and priorities are means we can work with the people of Liverpool and our local partners to tackle the important issues together. You can read a copy of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment by following this link . (PDF [2.3Mb] opens in new window)

The JSNA informs the commissioning strategies for health and social care . For more information about how services are commissioned visit the commisssioning pages.
