Supporting People Social Inclusion Services – Consultation

Overview

Overview

Birmingham City Council would like your views on the Commissioning and Procurement Strategy of Social Inclusion housing support services produced by the Supporting People Team.  We are responsible for re-commissioning a range of services across the social inclusion sector, relevant to the needs of vulnerable people, and would really value your thoughts on whether we are planning to re-commission the right services.

What are Supporting People Services?

Supporting People services are free and available to everyone regardless of age, sex, ethnic origin and sexual orientation.  Supporting People commission housing support services to help vulnerable people live more independently.  We are a prevention service providing early intervention support which in many cases avoids the need to access higher level and higher cost care services.

Social Inclusion client groups include:

• Homelessness (singles and families)
• Domestic violence
• Young people (including homeless, care leavers, youth offending and gun and gang crime)
• Ex-offenders
• Gypsies and Travellers
• Complex Needs

Please help us by letting us know your thoughts and views on the services we are planning to re-commission by answering a short list of questions attached.
