SUMMARY:Influencing outcomes in social care: funding\, commissioning behavi
 our and provider leverage
DESCRIPTION:A recording of the webinar can reviewed below\, and a copy of t
 he slides can be found HERE.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/8V1E4MYmtF4\n\n\n\nDesign
 ed for social care providers and led by Sam Stone\, Legal Director at Hemp
 sons\, this session focused on the practical reality of funding negotiatio
 ns and the often difficult relationship between providers and commissioner
 s.\nDrawing on real-world experience in disputes\, procurement challenges\
 , and contract negotiations\, Sam set out the practical steps providers co
 uld take to:\n\n\n 	Navigate funding discussions with greater confidence\n
  	Challenge unsustainable fee levels in a structured and effective way\n 	
 Understand the levers available within procurement and contract arrangemen
 ts\n 	Manage disputes without damaging long-term relationships with commis
 sioners\n 	Recognise where provider decisions could influence system behav
 iour\n\nThe session focused on what was actually happening on the ground\,
  offering a clear and pragmatic view of how providers could better positio
 n themselves within the then-current funding landscape.\nIt was about unde
 rstanding the system\, using the tools available\, and taking a more delib
 erate approach to influencing outcomes in a way that supported both sustai
 nability and quality of care for providers.\n\n\n\n\nShould you wish to di
 scuss any of the points raised or have further questions\, please contact:
