## Description

Essex County Council conducted a procurement process to secure a provider to deliver specialist support within a supported living scheme in Braintree to a group of ten \(10\) adults with learning disabilities /and or autism who may also exhibit challenging behaviour\. The people within this scheme will require high levels of specialist support due to the complexity of their needs\. In addition, they will require some adaptations to the property including but not limited to, Assistive Technology to minimise the requirements for on- going staff\. The support required will be detailed in each person's individual support plan, however it is likely to include support with personal care, accessing the community, and helping the person to manage their own behaviour through understanding potential triggers and developing strategies to manage these\. The support will also ensure that any potential risks arising from the person's behaviour are managed safely\.
