Description

The service is for those individuals living within the boundaries of Wiltshire Council (not Swindon) who are eligible to receive support as determined following a Care Act 2014 assessment, NHS funding eligibility assessment and younger people in transition from the age of 16 following a Children and Families Act assessment.

The Alliance will encompass support services for adults of working age who may present with mental health needs, learning disability (with or without dementia), autistic spectrum condition, physical or sensory needs, social, emotional and behavioural needs, speech, language and communication needs. This may cover young adults (16 to 25). Providers may be commissioned to provide services that support individuals in a family environment. This is especially important for avoiding the transitions cliff edge (18 to 25 years) for those transferring from children's services to adult services.

It is the intention of the Council for the Good Lives Alliance to remain open to new Providers for a 3-year period, with an anticipated service commencement date of the 4th September 2023.

The Council anticipates that it will, over time, extend the Pseudo DPS to procure further categories of specialist services. These further services may include Individual Service Funds and Specialist Day Opportunities.
