What is being bought

Published requirement description

Service user has a learning disability and Autism. They struggle to engage with people and can be extremely unpredictable which puts those working with them at risk of verbal / physical abuse. They are fiercely independent and will only engage with ASC for short periods, so it is imperative that we find them accommodation asap before they choose to disengage. Service user has already shown signs of disengagement therefore is at severe risk of self-neglect and also exploitation.

Due to the urgency of finding a new property as service user has been evicted, the GM Framework process length would delay this service user being made safe.

4 hours per day x 2 staff @

£24.60 per hour, per support worker

2 x 4 x 7 = 56 x £24.60 = £1324.40 per week
