Tender: NHS South Yorkshire ICB Barnsley Place 12–25 Neurodiversity Support Service — Pre‑to‑Post Diagnosis Support in Barnsley

About

NHS South Yorkshire ICB Barnsley Place is seeking a supplier for a 12–25 Neurodiversity Support Service that delivers a range of support from pre- to post-diagnosis for autistic children, young people, adults (18–25 years old) and their families, in line with commitments in the Barnsley All Age Autism Strategy. The service should also explore models such as joint assessments to improve the assessment and diagnosis experience for people with autism and additional needs, including ADHD or learning disabilities. There is potential scope for future expansion—subject to service evaluation and emerging community need—which may include extending support, resources and training for staff in different settings (for example supported living) and providing tailored support for parents/carers of children under 12, though these developments are not guaranteed.
