Description

The purpose of the RBG buddy scheme is to provide appropriate aged support to children and young people with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities. We are looking for an organisation that will be able to provide a bespoke PA matching service. This is a pilot service for a one year period with the option to extend for a further two 12 month periods. The service should act as a go between for the child/young person/parent and personal assistant (PA). The organisation will not employ any of the PAs rather offer a creative way in which to enable parents/carers/ young people to choose and connect with an age and interest appropriate PA.

We are interested in organisations who are able to deliver the service via a direct payment model and welcome proposals on how this will be managed.
