## Notice

Hampshire County Council Children's Services commissions care support for children and young people with disabilities. The children and young people requiring care support services will include those with severe disabilities such as learning disabilities, physical disabilities, autistic spectrum conditions, behaviour that challenges and complex physical or mental health needs. The Services are part of a holistic support package for the child / young person that meets identified outcomes as part of a Care Plan as agreed by the Council's County Allocation Panel. This Service is part of Hampshire County Council's Children's Services Department's continuum of services which support children and young people with disabilities. Care support is a Tier 4 specialist service, which can be offered to a family following a social care assessment where the Disabled Children's Team criteria has been met and/or an unmet social care need has been identified. This Service aims to facilitate the development of the market to deliver services in new and more personalised ways rather than the conventional delivery of domiciliary care which in turn will enhance the skills of staff, potentially offering greater job satisfaction, in delivering the Service and improving the experience of the Service User. This Notice relates to a call off procedure for Care Support Services for Children with a Disability - Enhanced Support. This relates to a child or young person who has more profound and complex needs due to their behaviour and/or disability and as such needs an enhanced care service and/or a Support Worker with additional training in order to meet those needs. Such needs may include behavioural management training, specific care needs or interventions. Any potential value will be awarded through subsequently awarded Individual Service Contracts rather than at this call off stage.
