Hertfordshire County Council ('the Council') wishes to invite interested Care Providers to attend an on-line information and feedback event on Wednesday 2nd November 2022 at 1pm via Zoom. Organisations can sign up to the event via the link provided in the attached PPME Document.

Project Background

This project is a transformation project, exercised in collaboration with London Borough of Barnet and Northwest London Integrated Commissioning Boards (ICBs)

Hertfordshire is currently host to a registered hospital for adults with severe learning disabilities, autism, and complex needs.

-The project requires a Supported Living provider that has extensive experience in supporting people with severe learning disabilities, autism, behavioural needs, communicat...
