Description

Norfolk County Council is looking to commission a new service that will use a Positive Behaviour (PBS) informed approach to provide targeted assistance to 10 - 15 children per year, particularly for those children at risk of entering long-term care placements, by addressing behaviour that challenge regardless of the root cause or diagnosis. The service is for children and young people up to age 18 with behaviour that challenges those around them and requires a holistic and whole family approach, delivered to their parents, carers and other people in their natural network as required
