## Description

Staffordshire County Council \(SCC\) has a legal duty to ensure Children's Community Support \(including Domiciliary Care\) provision is in place to support Children and Young People \(C/YP\) with a range of Disabilities who have been assessed by a qualified Social Worker as being eligible for a personal care service within the family home and local community\. Currently Providers support Children and Young People with a range of Disabilities, including Children and Young People with physical and learning Disabilities, autism and challenging behaviours, and many children have multiple needs\. They provide a range of Care Packages across Staffordshire which are tailored to the specific needs of eligible Children and Young People\.

SCC have previously commissioned a range of Providers from across Staffordshire to deliver Children's Community Support and Short Breaks on behalf of the Council, contracted as two separate support programmes\. The Council has decided to commission 1:1 Lifeskills and Independence, which was part of the Children's Community Support and Short Breaks offer, as combined service under this Children's Community Support \(including domiciliary\) Service Specification\.
