Commissioned by the Department for Communities and Local Government, BMEspark is a network of thousands of practitioners working in commissioners and providers of Supporting People services. 

 

The new BMEspark website is a comprehensive, accessible bank of knowledge - nearly 500 pages with well-organised, easy to use digests of 300 reports and 80+ examples of action by providers and commissioners to meet BME needs.

 

mybmespark personalises the website - you can save pages you want, see which pages you have looked at, go straight to pages containing related information and see your own discussion contributions and responses.
