CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE'S SPEECH AND LANGUAGE THERAPY SERVICES

Cheshire West and Chester Council and Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group are working together to re-commission Children's Speech and Language Therapy Services across the borough of Cheshire West.

The new service will be provided by one single provider to deliver a consistent, high quality, evidence-based, innovative service in order to meet the needs of children, young people and their families. The service will work proactively and collaboratively with parents, carers, schools, settings and the range of children's services, so that children can be identified and supported as early as possible, recognising that children's outcomes can't improve without partnership working. The service will triage, assess and treat children and young people referred into the service according to clinical pathways with tracking and monitoring progress using Therapy Outcome Measures.

The full specification is available along with all the other tender documents on www.the-chest.org.uk
