Gloucestershire Young people therapeutic residential - diagnostic review into the need for Tier 2 drug and alcohol services.

Tender description

Three individual therapeutic residential for children and young people to inform a research study report and build on the current knowledge of the impacts of lived experience of substance misuse on the health of children and young people and to get a better understanding of their support needs. This is to understand the level of need within the county, and may shape future commissioning improvement plans supporting Tier 2 drug and alcohol services. We need three individual residential studies focusing on engaging with different cohorts of children and young people • Children and Young People who are carers of a family member with substance misuse. • Children and Young people from alternative education provision with experience of substance misuse. • Young people known to the Youth Justice system with experience of substance misuse. The residential will be for young people aged 10 - 18 years, and up to 25 years if they are care experienced or have an Education and Health Care Plan. This is to help produce a detailed assessment report of the support and socio-demographic characteristics of the needs of young people. The reports will identify which tier 2 level of support services would be the most beneficial for their cohort of young people based upon response gathered. The bespoke analysis from these 3 reports will support intentions for Gloucestershire's Tier 2 support for substance misuse.
