Lot 2- Community & Home Care Support and Socialisation The Service will focus on building resilience, maximising independence, following a strengths based, restorative approach. Providers will deliver a quality and effective Service personalised to each C/YP's Assessed Need/s. The support from the Provider must contribute to enabling the family to live and feel supported in their family life with individualised Care/Support that reflects the C/YP's needs. Providers will produce their own Care Plan and individual Risk Assessments personalised to the C/YP. The partnership between the family and the Provider will aim to maximise the potential of each C/YP to assist with daily routines and support the parent/carer to be able to successfully maintain their primary caring role. The focus of the Service is to promote independence, social inclusion, safe care, positive risk taking, and general wellbeing of the C/YP and their family. The Service will support this through the following objectives: * Consistently promoting independence through an enabling approach at every possible opportunity. * Achieving the Outcomes in the C/YP's Care Plan. * Involving families to be part of the Assessment and Service delivery process. * Encouraging self-care and 'wellness'. * Arranging access to specialist support when needed. * Focussing support to help C/YP to remain in the home environment. * Motivating the C/YP to maintain or develop their life skills. * Supporting the family to engage with their wider community

This Service is to ensure parents/carers are supported to take a short break from their caring role and responsibilities when caring for C/YP age 0-18 who have SEND. The Provider must offer flexible sitting services that can be provided during the day, evening, or night for any length of time, as follows: * C/YP can be supported in the home, giving the carer time to go out if they choose. * C/YP may wish to go out in their local community for the allocated hours to pursue their own interests. * Support workers can accompany parents/carers and the C/YP on outings to provide the extra support required for the whole family unit.
