CCS034 Children In Care Provision (D2N2) - Fostering Placements

Description

This is a Framework opportunity for all OFSTED registered Fostering providers to support the D2N2 (Derbyshire, Derby City, Nottinghamshire and Nottingham City Councils) collaborative in delivery of good quality, stable and local placements to our Children in Care. Together D2N2 represent: 1772 children and young people 0-18 years in Foster Care. D2N2 is working together to optimise the commissioning of placement provision for their children in care and want to continue to develop new local arrangements as sought on the D2N2 framework 2020-2026. There is a continuing ambition for a collaborative approach, meeting the needs of all stakeholders including children and young people, providers and placing local authorities. D2N2 has worked together for some time in relation to our provision of fostering placements for Children in Care. Through this connection D2N2 recognised shared challenges, gaps in provision and common needs amongst the collective Children in Care population, and the need of a combined approach and closer coordination across our area.
