Autism Support Service

Autism is one of the fastest-growing areas of need in Birmingham. There are over 4,000 school-aged children with an autism diagnosis across the city, which is a higher prevalence than national averages, indicating a significant local need. In 2022 autism had increased by 25% over three years. Throughout the UK autism prevalence in children is estimated at 1–3% of the population, with recent studies suggesting 1 in 36 children aged eight years have an autism diagnosis. The commissioned service will provide a joint working model within the Trust Early Help Service. The Early Help service consists of one Targeted Family Help team and a Voluntary sector team in each of the 10 districts across Birmingham and the commissioned service will also need to align with The Family Hub offer. The commissioned service will provide direct interventions to children and young people with autism and their families. The specialist interventions will be specifically related to support associated with the child or young person’s autism. The brief will also include upskilling practitioners within the Early Help service, offering advice, guidance and training on autism enabling practitioners to respond effectively to families, this will include providing shadowing opportunities for recently trained staff from the partnerships.

Carers Support Service I-4805

A good ‘Carer Support Service’ is one that recognises, values, and empowers unpaid carers—providing them with the practical, emotional, and social support they need to maintain their own wellbeing while caring for others. This will help to shape more resilient communities and complement the Oxfordshire Way , the Council’s strategic vision. We want the people of Oxfordshire to live well and independently in their communities, remaining fit and healthy for as long as possible. This means intervening early to support individuals, helping people retain their skills and confidence, and preventing need or delaying deterioration wherever possible, and supporting unpaid carers in their caring role.

Provision of a Resettlement, Orientation and Re-integration Service

The UK Government operates a number of different schemes to people in need of protection from a range of different regions across the globe. In some instances, pledges have been made to the Home Office by local authorities to offer resettlement opportunities and, in other instances, participation is required. The support needs of each scheme share some similarities but there are also several differences so the service must be able to adapt to varied support needs and changing landscape. The service will support both existing supported/resettled families/individuals and new families/individuals arriving. The service’s main purpose is to support successful resettlement; supporting citizens to settle into their lives in their new homes, including managing their finances and accommodation, accessing services and ultimately being able to live independently and feel part of the community in which they live. This may look different for different families/individuals and for the different schemes. For example, the Homes For Ukraine Scheme is a temporary visa scheme and so people’s needs may differ to those on resettlement schemes who have arrived with indefinite leave to remain.
