Identifying the desired behaviours that will develop the culture that is needed across the learning disability system. SoEPS17.392

NHS South of England Procurement Services, acting on behalf of Health Education England (the Commissioner) would like to invite quotations from potential providers who can deliver a time limited project to address the key question of "what behaviours need to be present and where in the system to ensure that there is culture that promotes an "enabling" focus on community independent living" that is described in the national service model for transforming learning disability services.

The successful provider would be expected to research and describe the learning disability system across the Midlands and East of England, identifying behaviours that are needed from each system partner and those that are required as a collaborative to develop a culture to ensure that the system can support the transforming care agenda.
