The overarching aim of the team will be to help improve access to treatment for London's rough sleepers. The emphasis is on supporting steps that improve the person's readiness for residential rehabilitation The pan-London substance misuse pathway has been designed to help support people with a history of rough sleeping to access new in-patient detox beds and enable them to maintain and enhance their recovery by ensuring they have opportunities for ongoing support including new tailored residential rehabilitation spaces. The team being commissioned here will be expected to work with people at all stages of their recovery journey. The new team will need to work alongside other elements of the pathway, supporting those rough sleepers who are referred for help. The team will be expected to proactively identify and address barriers that prevent rough sleepers from engaging with substance misuse treatment and providing information to the partnership programme and evaluation team so that barriers can also be addressed at a regional strategic level Because of the pattern of support already available across London it is very possible that the bulk of the requests for assistance will come from outer London Boroughs .
