In plain English

Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust wants an outside expert to inspect a set of secure mental health wards and report on how well they suit people who are neurodivergent, such as those with autism or learning disabilities. The audit is to be designed with people who have lived experience of neurodiversity and mental health services, and it will shape changes to how the wards run and to the buildings themselves.

What the buyer wants

• Carry out a structured external audit of a specified number of wards across the Trust's low and medium-secure forensic mental health sites in Thames Valley and Wessex. • Coproduce the audit with people with lived experience of neurodiversity and mental health services. • Identify gaps and priorities for improvement in ward design, day-to-day operation and the estate, to inform new environment recommendations.
