Notice Information

Notice Title

Improving transition assessments and support for young adult carers to make positive transitions

Notice Description

This project will aim to improve the variation in practice around respite care / carers breaks across England, through sharing best practice, increasing availability of choice of quality services to enable carers to take the breaks they need and supporting carers to use personal budgets for breaks/respite. In doing so increase the transparency so carers know what they are entitled to, and ensure greater consistency in what is available. A choice of appropriate and good quality care needs to be available or carers cannot get the breaks they need for their own health and well being. Additional information: We are looking for a Contractor that can demonstrate that they have the following qualities: - Expertise and wide-ranging knowledge of the existing evidence base in this area - with particular expertise around young and adult carers. - Contacts and credibility with those in health settings and local authorities. - National reputation among carers, policymakers, the NHS and local authorities with regard to how best to identify, support and value carers of all ages. - Skills in assessing evidence and drawing out recommendations. - Project management and delivery capability including experience in monitoring and evaluating the impact of activities. - Analytical and drafting skills to assess the evidence and bring together a finalised product. - Ability to disseminate and promote the findings through appropriate networks
