Notice Title

Advocacy Worker Service in North West London

Notice Description

The service provided meets a gap in Independent Advice and Support for Parent Carers of Adults with Learning Disabilities. This support covers, benefits, further education, housing, access to health for people with learning disabilities, concerns about services the person they care for is receiving and issues relating to carers own health and wellbeing. The service supports families whose son/daughter are transitioning from children's services into adult services ensuring continuity of support for parent carers who will be lifelong carers. The service identifies training options. The service also ensures that parents expertise is used in the ongoing development of local services. Additional information: A new contract is putting in place for a period of 18 months to afford the newly forming NHS North West London CCG time to agree the approach to commission this service at NWL ICS level in line with national and ICS guidance to ensure smoother, less complicated, non-duplicated service delivery.
