The need for a bespoke solution

The need for a Bespoke Solution

January 2024

This page has been put together to follow up on the NHS England hosted meeting on 31 January 2024, where a number of people from the NDTi Small Supports Team, along with people from NHS England, DHSC, DfE, MoJ, CQC and OFSTED, met to discuss work to develop bespoke provision. This work crosses over many different pieces of work - at the centre of which is ‘Transforming Care’; work is across ages with a focus on those already placed in or at risk of being placed in secure, forensic and mental health in-patient institutions.

This page is a simple reference page bringing together work, information, and research linked to the work of the programme over the past four years. Follow the highlighted links to view and find out more:
