Welcome to the NWADCS portal, this is a space for North West local authorities and their partners to communicate, share practice and collaborate on regional activity. Much of the content is restricted so if you have received an invitation to register please do so. 

The portal is currently under development and we will be working with groups within the region to develop their areas. 

Register for the portal

Much of the content on the portal is only available for registered users and we encourage you to register so you can access all the relevant resources on the site and participate in discussion forums.  

Registration is a quick process and your account needs to be linked to your local authority email address in order to be authorised. Providers and partners can also register to access areas specific to them.

Regional purchasing systems

There are three regional purchasing systems to support the commissioning of children's placements for North West authorities; these cover fostering, residential and supported and independent living. A further contract for SEND placements is in development.
