Description

The Children and Young People (CYP) Keyworking function has been developed through consultation and co-production as a response to the NHS England & NHS Improvement Long Term Plan (LTP) commitment that by 2023/24 children and young people with a learning disability, autism or both with the most complex needs, will have a designated Keyworker.
It is essential for NHS England and national stakeholders to understand the impact and outcomes of introducing the CYP Keyworking model at scale to identify how it should be embedded into national specifications and fully rolled out nationally
It is anticipated that this work will:
1. Deliver a formative strategy and plan based on the learning from the pilot phase evaluation that will support the effective delivery of the new Keyworking Model
2. Deliver a robust learning cycle through the pilot phase and evaluation of the wider roll out.
3. Deliver regular briefings, updates, presentations and reports to the Community of Practice to ensure key learning is shared as quickly as possible across all pilot and early adopter sites
4. Deliver regular briefing, updates, presentations and reports to the Keyworking Steering Group as part of the governance and oversight model
5. Support the development and testing of metrics designed in wave one that will inform future ongoing national datasets across the secure case sector that will ultimately support improvements across the system
6. Deliver interim and final reports with recommendations for the ongoing delivery and roll out of the new Keyworking model
NHS England and NHS Improvement are seeking to contract with a suitably experienced and qualified supplier to carry out evaluation of the pilot of scheme using their expertise in rapid cycle methodology. Bidders must be able to demonstrate previous experience in delivering similar evaluation projects this should include:
• Skilled in working with stakeholders, including national bodies who represent people with a learning disability, family carers and GPs
• Skilled in developing and implementing stakeholder campaigns across partner channels including national bodies
• Skilled in the development of benchmarking surveys
• Skilled in fieldwork to explore key reflections on the progress, activities and focus of the pilots
• Interim analysis and reporting at pace
