Tender description

To support our work on Supported Living, we are keen to have an overview of all current and potential Providers in Torbay who wish to work collaboratively with us and Service Users to develop a new Supported Living service specification and commissioning framework. These will be outcome focused to include a number of quality measures. Following the launch of the Supported Living project at the Torbay Multi Provider Forum in May 2017 we are now seeking to further engage with existing and potential Providers to co-produce a new service specification. Three engagement workshops are planned as follows: Wednesday 21.6.2017, 10:00 — 12:00; Thursday 20.7.2017, 15:00 — 16:30; Wednesday 16.8.2017, 10:00 — 12:00. To book a place at this event and receive an agenda, please e-mail Sarah.Baker@torbay.gov.uk by 19.6.2017 for workshop 1, 18.7.2017 for workshop 2 and 14.8.2017 for workshop 3. Supported Living Services in Torbay Supported Living is a key priority for Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust (TSDFT) and Torbay Council; we are currently working together to define, review and modernise Supported Living services. The aim is to ensure Supported Living (Accommodation with Care and Support) meets and supports our new Model of Care and aligns with Torbay's market position statement and housing strategy. Currently Supported living is characterised by enormous variation and diversity in the types of providers, scheme characteristics, client groups and housing models. It has developed in different ways, depending on which client group it was intended to accommodate. What is meant by ‘supported living’ has become increasingly complex; there is no single definition of this term. To support this work we are keen to have an overview of all current and potential Providers in Torbay who wish to work collaboratively with us and Service Users to develop a new Supported Living service specification and commissioning framework. These will be outcome focused to include a number of quality measures. Together we will be helping deliver changes in the way in which community based care in Supported Living works across Torbay.
