What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionKingarth is a 7-bed residential service for male adults over 18. Kingarth can support people with autism, sensory needs, complex needs, learning disabilities and mental health needs.
24 hour shared support including a waking night.
15 hours per day 1:1 support (63 hours per week).
Constant supervision and support are required, and person will not be free to leave without support. Person will be subject to MOJ restrictions.
P, who will be placed here, has very complex support needs, which has meant that a very specific placement has needed to be found for them. This placement was found in partnership with the NHS GM Complex Cohort team and assessment and preparation has taken several months.
Oldham Supported Living framework had been explored but due to PT's complexities and compatibility risks due to the MOJ restrictions these were not suitable. Placement sourcing began before 01 April 2025 due to transitions work required with PT therefore the GM Framework was not utilised.
