    "description": "Norfolk County Council is looking to commission a new service that will use a Positive Behaviour (PBS) informed approach to provide targeted assistance to 10 - 15  children per year, particularly for those children at risk of entering long-term care placements, by addressing behaviour that challenge regardless of the root cause or diagnosis. The service is for children and young people up to age 18 with behaviour that challenges those around them and requires a holistic and whole family approach, delivered to their parents, carers and other people in their natural network as required",
    "riskDetails": "Norfolk County Council has joined the government's Devolution Priority Programme.\nThis process has the potential to lead to the establishment of a county combined authority for Norfolk and Suffolk, with strategic powers, headed by an elected mayor. A consultation is under way.\nGovernment has also invited participation by Norfolk in Local Government Review. This process has the potential to lead to unitary local government in Norfolk. One of these changes could happen without the other. The contract may be assigned or novated to any successor authority(ies) to Norfolk County Council or to any joint body incorporating or formed by any such successor. The County Council or a successor authority or joint body may order services on behalf of other local authorities serving any area within Norfolk's current geographical boundaries.",
