two.1.4) Short description

Frimley Integrated Care Board ("the ICB") has been successful in its bid for NHSE Funding to implement a Keyworker Service for Children and Young People (CYP) with a Learning Disability (LD) and/or autism across Slough, the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead and Bracknell Forest.

The 'Key Working Function' has been developed as a response to the NHS England and NHS Improvement Long Term Plan (LTP) commitment that by 2023/24, children and young people with a learning disability, autism or both, with the most complex needs will have a designated Key Worker, implementing the recommendations made by Dame Christine Lenehan. The purpose of the Keyworker service is to support children and young people and their families to navigate a complex system, have their voices heard, and have their needs met at the right time.

The East Berkshire Keyworker Service will be delivered initially in two phases:

• Year 1: Keyworker support will be offered to children and young people with a learning disability and autistic children and young people with the most complex needs from ages 0-25 and their families, on the Dynamic Support Register as an inpatient or at risk of admission to a mental health hospital and

• Year 2: Keyworker support will be extended to those who face multiple vulnerabilities such as looked after and adopted children, and children and young people moving between services, like moving to adult services.

This is a real opportunity for innovative and progressive providers to deliver a person-centred and needs based approach to support children and young people and their families. We are therefore keen to encourage providers of all sizes to take the opportunity to bid for this service.
