Request for Quotation: Provision of Habilitation Services for Children and Young People with Vision Impairment

The Habilitation Service for children and young people provides personalised habilitation (mobility and independent living) training for children and young people who are blind or sight impaired and those with additional needs and vision impairment in Bromley. In addition, the service assesses, monitors and reviews all children who are provided with, or may require habilitation training.\r

The service works in partnership with the Qualified Teachers of Vision Impaired Children and Young People (QTVIs) from the Vision Team to support the CYP on the Vision Team Caselist. This support can be at home, pre-schools, schools and further education colleges. The work of the service in supporting young people between the ages of 0-19 puts the family very much at the centre of the process.\r

The habilitation work in most cases will be carried out within school terms however some provision will have to be made for training within the school holidays.\r

Bromley Council are looking for a suitable and experienced provider that meets all the requirements of the specification to carry out this service. You must provide a copy of your Strategy for Data Security and Safeguarding in order to be considered for this contract.\r
