Description

Dorset Council has a duty to ensure there is a sufficient range of individual support and short 
break services available to children and young people in the Dorset Council area who have 
assessed needs relating to disability, mental health and emotional wellbeing. Services may also 
be required to 'reach out' from a Dorset base to children for whom Dorset Council has a 
responsibility who live outside Dorset in neighbouring local authority areas. The aim of the 
service is to provide inclusive care and support at home and in community settings for children 
and young people from birth to 25 years of age, who are disabled and/or have mental health 
and emotional wellbeing needs. 

Care and Support services are provided by trained care and support workers who can 
implement care and support plans to meet needs related to health, safety, social, emotional, 
behavioural, psychological and physical development, enable children and young people to 
experience a Short Break from their family, enjoy and experience activities which might 
otherwise be difficult for them to access, manage behaviour which carers find challenging, and 
promote independent living skills. Meeting personal care needs such as continence falls within 
the scope of desired provision but is not a necessary requirement for all providers or services. 

Dorset Council went to tender to seek suppliers to provide individual care and support to 
children and young people. This was a further competition from Lot 27 of the Dorset Care, 
Support, Housing and Community Safety Framework.
