Lot Information

Lot 1

The service aims to ensure CYP with LD/ASD at potential risk of admission and in mental health hospitals receive timely, appropriate, personalised, integrated support. This includes the implementation of Care, Education and Treatment Review (CETR) recommendations, and targeting CYP on the Dynamic Support Register including those with complex needs, those at risk of harm, and those with adverse childhood experiences. Keyworkers work across the system with and for families and CYP, capitalising on cross-system knowledge and experience to help families effectively navigate services. Keyworking practice is delivered in line with evidence-based approaches to working with this cohort of CYP and families, including Reciprocity, Trauma-Informed Practice, CBT/DBT, empathy, self-confidence and self-awareness, coping mechanisms, targeted intervention, resilience, emotional intelligence, solution-focused, mindfulness and Attachment, Regulation and Competency (ARC) therapy.

The approximate lifetime value of the contract is PS790,000. The dates between which the services are intended to be provided are: 01/04/2025 to 31/03/2027.
