All five residential care settings require a 24-hour Care and Support.

The overall purpose of the specified services is to Provide person centred and flexible personal care and support, to enable the Clients receiving support to develop and maintain their independence within these community settings Provide a support environment that minimises unnecessary restrictions on freedom of movement and choice in peoples' lives Develop an understanding of the frequency, patterns and reasons for an individuals' challenging behaviour Develop support plans that deliver effective support to reduce frequency and severity of incidents of challenging behaviour ### Promote social inclusion and social capital ### Promote health, wellbeing and personal safety Support access to the community and community activities, using appropriate modes of transport in line with individual support plans and available resources To work with ESCC to agree the most appropriate service(s) that could be deregistered and reconfigured into a supported living model over the life of the contract To, in principle, provide some fixed-term placements for adults with a learning disability.
