Supported Living Framework-Complex needs and behaviours provider event

We would love to speak to providers about complex needs services. We are aware that we need more services in the Reading area to meet our local needs. We are tendering for our supported living framework contract in the Autumn of 2024 and we will be using this event to develop our contract, specification and other relevant tender paperwork. Additionally, we have invited our Health and neighbouring authorities to hear your thoughts as we start to develop care models and services for people with multiple needs and complex behaviours, including substance misuse, mental health needs and learning disabilities and Autism. We want to speak to providers who deliver supported living services to people with complex needs and behaviours. We want to work in partnership with you to develop our model and ensure we can meet our developing needs. At this event we want to hear from providers and discuss in more detail: What are complex needs and behaviours? How can we best meet the needs of those with complex needs and behaviours? What training and support should be in place to support staff to support services users? What are the challenges in delivering these types of services and what can local authorities and health do to help? What support do providers needs to establish new services? What do good service look like? This is a virtual event and will be recorded on the 7th February 1-3. If you are interested in attending, then please email Lizzie.angove@Reading.gov.uk and we can send you a link to join the meeting. If you are unable to attend but want to be part of the conversation, then please email Lizzie your details.
