Commissioned Short Breaks - Group Activity (1)

TENDER DESCRIPTION

The provider will successfully deliver short break groups within the Tameside Borough. This service is for children and young people (CYP) aged between 15 to 17 years and should have a PfA focus (as per section 2.1), working with CYP and families and using individual EHCP's to ensure outcome focused support is provided. For those young people aged 17y, the provider is expected to work with partners and key people in CYP's life to transition support into adult services. The grouping of these ages is dependent on what the provider can offer, but a consideration should be given to those CYP currently open to the CWD team (see section 1.2) and extremes of these ages should not be mixed. The service will be primarily for CYP who still have a maintained EHCP, who require 1:1 or 2:1 support for behavioural and / or personal care needs and / or safety and / or medical needs. The service should aim to promote CYP independence within the setting where possible and adopt a flexible approach to staffing, reducing individual CYP staffing ratios if safe to do so, and where agreed with commissioners and CWD Team.
