Provider Event for Domestic Abuse skilled workers based within Together for Families Children’s social care

Description

Cornwall Council is preparing to recommission the Family Domestic Abuse Skilled Worker (FDASA) Service, with a new contract expected to begin January 2027. We are holding a Provider Market Engagement Event to share our early service outline and gather provider views before finalising the tender. The FDASA model provides a small team of specialist domestic abuse workers who are based within Family Help teams to offer short-term, focused support to families where domestic abuse is a primary concern. Their role is to increase safety, improve understanding of risk, and support access to wider domestic abuse services, while working alongside—rather than replacing—Children’s Social Care. The service includes a supervisor/team lead to ensure consistency and coordination. Provider Market Engagement Event Date: 11th May 2026 Time: 1pm – 3pm Keywords: Abuse, Workers, Domestic
