Early support service for children, young people and families with neurodevelopmental conditions

Tender description

The early support service for children, young people and families with neurodevelopmental conditions, specifically during their assessment journey for Autistic Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is due to be procured shortly by the Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board (SNEE ICB) with the new services commencing September 2025. Lot 1: The overall aim of the service is to support, empower and enable children, young people and families particularly during the pre and post assessment stages of their assessment journey with models of support that complement services which already exist, are needs led, family centred, child or young person focused, innovative, trusted and responsive to families for the Suffolk and North East Essex population, excluding Waveney. Support will be offered to carers and the wider family to improve their health and emotional wellbeing, and help equip them with the resilience, tools and practical strategies required for their caring role.
