To establish a pilot scheme to provide a 4-5 bed building-based service in the community with a flexible system allowing beds to be pre-booked for short breaks for adults with learning disabilities, autistic people and people needing physical support.
The aim of the pilot is to inform the second phase of the project to provide short break accommodation. It is envisaged the pilot scheme will be an initial 12-month contract plus 12 months following ongoing monitoring and reviewing, with a strong focus on co-production throughout the initial 12-month operational phase.
As part of the wider project we will be enquiring about your capacity to support emergency respite provision and your ideas around what that support could look like and what community short breaks options could be introduced.
