Age: 11years 1month ### Gender: Male ### Current Placement: Solo assessment placement Geographical location required: Any location in the UK will be considered. Preferred location is in County Durham or as close to County Durham as possible. Needs and presentation: L is an amazing 11-year-old little boy who is full of energy and loves to be active outdoors. When feeling safe and calm, L is also able to spend time participating in gentler indoor activities such as doing jigsaws, building with lego, and colouring. L has suffered severe developmental trauma and he now has major attachment difficulties. L also has a diagnosis of ADHD and shows high levels of autistic traits. L currently needs two-to-one staffing support. He is always 'on the go' and requires constant adult attention due to his attachment difficulties. On occasion, when he is most distressed and heightened, L can display violent behaviours. This is not necessarily a frequent occurrence - L can have a number of positive days, and indeed weeks, in a row. However, when incidents of L displaying violent behaviours do occur, such incidents can be intense and severe. L needs the highest possible levels of trauma-informed and therapeutic care. ## CPV classification Health and social work services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/cf20359b-41c7-485e-8096-d302bcb27cdb) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
