Objectives • To improve oral hygiene and reduce tooth decay in the 3-5-year-old population of Oldham • Establish healthy tooth brushing habits • To help educate children on good oral health practices Page 2 to 6 Currently, there are no supported supervised toothbrushing programmes in Oldham. However, Oldham Early Years setting and schools were previously engaged in a supervised toothbrushing programme and some settings may still have baseline knowledge or even self-supported programmes ongoing.

The total number of reception aged children with an education health and care plan is 142. We will work with the successful provider to share a list of eligible settings and the approximate number of eligible children within each setting. The service should implement a universal supervised toothbrushing for children in the categories listed above. The supervised toothbrushing programme should be in line with the British Dental Association recommendations for toothbrushes to be replaced every three months or when there are signs of wear. *****Please note: This is an intention to award notice for a PSR Competitive Process, it is not a PA23 or PCR2015 process.***** The relevant authority is intending to award a contract to a provider under the PSR Competitive Process.

- Current placement is OFSTED registered rather than CQC therefore not suitable as service user is now 18. - The provider has served notice on the placement due to concerns about high levels of risk, to the service user, co-tenants and staff, and service user presents a significant risk due to involvement with gangs and individuals and exploitation - The notice period was given as 7 days rather than 28 days, due to the seriousness of the concerns for co-tenants and staff. - Service user is also at high risk of further assaults, and being placed in Oldham and behaviour has escalated in current placement resulting in him being verbally aggressive towards others in the property, including making threats of violence. - Service user is vulnerable and unable to prioritise wellbeing and lacks capacity around main decisions regarding lifestyle and wellbeing. - The provider has been approached directly to seek urgent placement given the timeframe and experience needed. - Provider have confirmed they can offer a temporary supported living placement with waking nights, and 4 hrs of 1-1 support during the day. This support will be spread across the day time - AM and PM support. This high level of support is required to mitigate the risks identified. - It is hoped that the provider can commence this placement from the 20th January 2026.

This notice relates to an urgent placement move for a service user whose increasing risks within their current nursing placement have required immediate action. A direct award has been undertaken due to the exceptional safeguarding circumstances, escalating behavioural risks, and the absence of any safe alternative that could be secured within the timeframe required. 1. In conjunction with the allocated worker, the previous provider had advised that they were unable to safely manage the service users risks once the temporary 1:1 funding ended. There was concern that the previous placement would become unsafe for both the service user and others. An MDT concluded that an alternative placement needed to be identified and secured urgently to prevent further deterioration, exploitation risks, and harm to residents. 2. Housing colleagues have confirmed that while the service user meets homeless legislation criteria for assistance, their presentation does not meet the threshold for an urgent statutory duty as they are technically able to care for themselves when prompted. 3. All system, partners agree that the service users current situation is unsustainable and that the risks now present require urgent intervention. A safeguarding referral has already been raised in relation to the impact on other residents. 4. Commissioning are exploring alternative accommodation options. In the interim, to mitigate risk, one to one funding has been authorised. Due to safeguarding concerns and the placement unable to meet the service users current needs this is not sustainable nor appropriate for longer term. 5. An alternative provider has been identified as a safe and viable option that could meet the service users needs immediately. They confirmed they could accept the service user without delay and offer the level of support and structure required to manage their risks. Given the urgency, the safeguarding implications, and the need to act before the removal of 1:1 staffing rendered the situation unsafe, the decision was taken to proceed with a direct award. A full tender process would have taken several weeks and would not have provided a safe or timely solution, leaving both the service user and the other residents in the current placement exposed to avoidable harm. 6. This direct award was therefore undertaken to fulfil the Local Authority's duties under the Care Act 2014, particularly in relation to the prevention of harm, the management of significant risks, and the necessity to act proportionately and swiftly where a person's safety or the safety of others may be compromised. The decision was made in the context of escalating risk, an urgent safeguarding concern, and the absence of any alternative placement able to respond within the required timeframe.

Constant supervision and support are required, and person will not be free to leave without support. Person will be subject to MOJ restrictions. P, who will be placed here, has very complex support needs, which has meant that a very specific placement has needed to be found for them. This placement was found in partnership with the NHS GM Complex Cohort team and assessment and preparation has taken several months. Oldham Supported Living framework had been explored but due to PT's complexities and compatibility risks due to the MOJ restrictions these were not suitable.
