The requirement is to develop a list of Service Providers who can deliver an increased range of therapeutic support services to families and individuals. This requirement has arisen from the regions intention, supported by but not dependent on the Government's Adoption Support Fund Initiative to improve support to adoptive families and others.

These needs will be identified by an assessment conducted by relevant officers in each local Region.

Oral health is an integral part of overall health. A significant proportion of the population in England experience very good levels of oral health. Successive oral surveys have shown that child and adult oral health has been improving over the past 30 years. However, the vulnerable, disadvantaged and socially excluded groups are at greater risk of oral diseases affecting their teeth, gums, supporting bone, and soft tissues of their mouth, tongue and lips. The most prevalent oral disease amongst children and young people (CYP) in England is tooth decay. In the 2023-24 survey of 5-year-olds in England, the national prevalence of children with enamel and/or dentinal decay was 26.9%. Regionally, this ranged from 23.3% in the East of England to 36.8% in the North West. Children living in the most deprived areas of the country were more than twice as likely to have experienced dentinal decay (32.2%) as those living in the least deprived areas (13.6%). Data from the epidemiology programme shows that there is wide variation across Yorkshire and the Humber in the decay experience of 5-year-olds. The greatest prevalence is seen in the most deprived areas. The Authorities are seeking a Provider that will work with a range of health, educational and social care partners and communities to deliver evidence informed oral health improvement programmes that meet local needs and impact on health improvement. The Oral Health Promotion Service will aim to encourage identified individuals, groups and communities for example children, young people, adults living in a residential care homes, adults with a learning disability or severe mental illness, and inclusion health groups to maintain and improve their oral health. There will be two core elements to the Oral Health Promotion Service: • Supervised Tooth Brushing Programme • Oral Health Training and Development of wider workforce.

North Yorkshire Council (NYC) developed a Young People's Pathway model (YPP), called 'Young People's Housing Solutions @ The Hub' in 2011. YPP provides a multi-agency service across the County to young people aged 16-25 years who may be homeless or at risk of homelessness. It is an operational and strategic partnership between Children and Families Services and Housing. The YPP was developed in response to the requirements arising from the 2009 "Southwark Judgement" and the subsequent Department for Children, Schools and Families guidance to Children's' Services and Local Housing Authorities (April 2010) which sets out local authorities' duties to secure accommodation and support for homeless 16 and 17 year olds. It assists the Authority in meeting their statutory obligations to young people who are in or leaving care and meets the prevention and main housing duty of the Authority. This ensures they are protected and enabled to lead independent and fulfilling lives through the provision of quality services. The partnership approach provides a clear and consistent pathway, regardless of where in the County the young person requests assistance, maximising the effective use of resources, staff skills and expertise to prevent homelessness, the associated negative consequences and provide accommodation options.
