Overview
• To work with the families/carers/residential settings within the cohort to enable them to be better able to support CYP to prevent escalation to crisis.
• To co-produce with the cohort of CYP and their parents/carers/residential settings a training programme and supporting resources to upskill others and strengthen pathways • Delivery of the training to the target cohort of parents/carers/residential settings
• To train local third sector providers across the STP footprint to deliver the training to other families/carers/residential settings and establish communities of practice to ensure sustainability. The provider will be required to undertake a selection process to identify the 3rd sector providers to be involved in delivering the training. This selection process should include clear agreements, expectations and resource.
• Following training, communities of practice will be established to maintain shared learning across the STP footprint.
• To work with the cohort of families/carers/residential settings to develop sustainable peer support groups across the STP area supported by local third sector providers. These groups should be sustainable after the end of the funding.
• Through engagement with the cohort families/carers/residential settings, to develop an understanding of what support would be helpful to prevent the requirement for an inpatient admission in future. This should be written up within the final report to inform future service developments.
• The planned Webinar will not be going ahead. Should you have any queries please send them via the following email address: mlcsu.tenders@nhs.net
