This work will help to guide commissioning arrangements in response to the Professor Dame Carol Black Review, the government's 10-year Harm to Hope strategy and local needs assessments. The three particular groups the insight work is seeking to further understand are: - Females with a drug and alcohol support need not accessing drug and alcohol treatment, including those who have experienced trauma and abuse. Bidders are permitted to focus the insight work on a particular subgroup for example, but not limited to the below. Access to individuals and reasoning for the focus should be clearly evidenced within the bid. - alcohol dependent females - female opiate users - females introduced to drug dependency through their partners and/or social networks - highly vulnerable women at risk of sexual exploitation and violence (including experience of domestic abuse) with a drug and/or alcohol support need. - Individuals with a drug and alcohol support need from BAME communities not accessing drug and alcohol treatment. Bidders are permitted to focus insight work on a particular ethnicity where access to individuals and reasoning for the focus can be clearly evidenced. - Rough sleepers with a drug and alcohol support need not accessing drug and alcohol treatment, including complex dependant cases and their long-term needs post housing. Insight work should clearly identify how the service offer may need to differ between men and women.
