The matter was discussed at the Adult Social Cabinet Committee on 4 July 2018.
Financial implications: The planned framework will run for four years with individual call-offs for each package of need. The expected value of call-offs is approximately £3m per annum, with costs met jointly by TCP partners.
Legal implications: The main legislative frameworks for the Positive Behavioural Support Service are the Care Act 2014 (for adults), the Children Act 1989 (for under 18s), and the principles of Mental Capacity Act 2005. These are all statutory duties and the new service will be compliant with these legislative frameworks.
Equalities implications: An Equality Impact Assessment (EQIA) has been completed and will be updated as the work to deliver the new contracts is progressed.
