Provision of peer support and social inclusion prevention services for people of all ages with autism and/or learning disabilities

LBH has partnered with health to seek a provider to deliver a preventative offer for people with Autism and LD to reduce demand on statutory services. This contract will be a total length of 3 years with a possible 1-year extension. This must be an all-age offer to complement our recently published All-Age Autism Strategy 2023-25.

We are looking to commission a preventative contract to reduce demand for statutory services for Autism and other related conditions. It is envisaged that the service will be split into a pre and post-diagnostic offer to mirror the clinical ASD pathway to ensure a holistic approach to an individual's diagnosis journey. This will include developing professional working groups to escalate cases to prevent crisis interventions and monitor demand with various health colleagues. The contract will strongly focus on partnership working with health, schools, and social care to get the best outcomes for those seeking/being diagnosed with Autism and/or a learning disability. The aim is to help individuals set achievable goals and increase their independence and self-management. We will require this support to be delivered from an identified location(s) in Havering and are open to discussions on any suggested venues.
