Pasūtīti īsie pārtraukumi – Grupas aktivitāte (2)

The provider will successfully deliver short break groups within the Tameside Borough. This service is for children and young people (CYP) aged between 5 (year 1) and 10 (year 5/6) with complex needs. The grouping of these ages is dependent on what the provider can offer, but a consideration should be given to those CYP currently open to the CWD team (see section 1.2) and extremes of these ages should not be mixed. The service will be primarily for CYP who attend a specialist educational provision or resource base, who require 1:1 or 2:1 specialised support for behavioural and / or personal care needs and / or safety and / or medical needs and / or moving and handling needs This offer is also available for those children who may have physical difficulties and may require more complex personal care support. The provision should aim to promote CYP independence within the setting where possible and adopt a flexible approach to staffing, reducing individual CYP staffing ratios if safe to do so, and where agreed with commissioners and CWD Team CYP within Tameside that are eligible for this offer may present with one or more of the following diagnoses that are represented in Section 1.2. However, as new referrals are received into the service the list of presenting needs may change. Due to the threshold of the service all cases will have an associated learning need such as: • Global Development Delay • Severe Learning Need • Moderate Learning Need • Support for CYP is to be provided on a 1:1 or 2:1 basis including personal care needs. This may include: • Support with eating and drinking including regular prompts • Support ensuring CYP are clean and dry throughout the day and their care to be completed with dignity • Manage behaviours that may be challenging while keeping CYP and staff safe • Support and help with regulation and deescalation • Encouragement to participate in sessions ensuring this is meaningful • Following moving and handling plans for safe transfers between equipment and activities It is the providers responsibility to ensure staff are fully trained to support with individual presenting needs. Please see Appendix 1 for an example Personal Needs Care Plan which may be shared by the service area to understand a young person's needs. We expect providers to use this as a guide in addition to collecting their own information regarding the needs of a young person.
