two.1.4) Short description

The aim is to facilitate the delivery of a range of Short Breaks, Respite and Family Care services for eligible children and young people with a disability and/or other children in need (CwD / CiN).

Short breaks will focus on personal and community assets to support choice, control, and increased independence. Parent/carers will benefit by receiving meaningful respite that will enable them to focus on their own health, well-being and daily living needs.

Family care services are intended to provide additional care and support to families who have complex and/or specialist needs, and/or require urgent packages of care, to prevent family breakdown.

Children and young people aged 0-18 with a disability and/or life-threatening illnesses including:

• Learning disability

• Physical disability

• Sensory impairment

• Profound and multiple learning disabilities

• Autistic spectrum conditions

• Mental health needs

• Attention and conduct disorders

• Behaviours that can challenge

• Chronic health condition

This list is indicative and not exhaustive. Customers are likely to have needs across a number of these areas.

It will be exceptional for pre-school children to access the service, but the service should not restrict if it can meet needs.

two.2.4) Description of the procurement

Providers may offer a range of block contracted services in the community and in family homes, for children who are assessed for long-term packages of care, on a 1:1 basis, through the Children with Disabilities Team. These children will, in general, be assessed with packages at less than 500 hours a year, across term-time and school holidays, usually with regular sessions in familiar places, with familiar people. Broadly, these services will include:

Community Groups and Club

Supported Exploring in the Community

Day Support at Home

Night Support at Home

This offer is preventative and designed to give parents and carers meaningful breaks, so parents and carers are not expected to be present during these activities. However, occasional events and sessions with wider family members can be offered through core

provision to support community engagement and build relationships.

Providers should get to know the children they support well, and plan suitable activities that are engaging and well-matched to every child and their SMART outcomes.

Children who are assessed for support under the enhanced framework are likely to have learning and physical disabilities, chronic health conditions, and life-limiting illnesses, as well

as significant social, emotional and mental health needs, but may be under any team in the Children and Young People Directorate, including children on edge of care, those being discharged from Tier 4 beds, young people at risk of extra familial harm, and so on.

Families eligible for packages under Lot 2 are likely to be assessed for large packages of care where they receive support most days of the week, and/or with high ratios of staff to children
