Positive Behaviour Service (for Children, Young People, and Young Adults)

NHS South East London Clinical Commissioning Group (SEL CCG) is seeking to commission the Positive Behaviour Service (for Children, Young People, and Young Adults). The Learning Disability and Autism Programme core aim is to improve health (education) and care services, for people with a learning disability, autism or both can live in the community, with the right support, and close to home. This aim is reflected in the NHS Long Term Plan, which advocates moving to a new service model in which patients get more options, better support, and properly joined-up care at the right time in the best care setting. In achieving this, South East London Learning Disability and Autism Programme is investing in Positive Behaviour Services to intervene as early as possible to avoid inpatient admission, and alongside other programmes, support early discharge.
