TD1749 - Provision of Community Based Family Support Services

Description

The Council is looking to procure an innovative community-based service to support children, young people and families (the Service Users). The service will work using strengths-based methods with families to enable them to build on their skills and develop their own strategies to manage difficulties; enabling them to manage difficult periods in their lives. The overall aim of this community-based approach is to support children, young people and their families to develop skills and coping mechanisms to increase positive family functioning and build family resilience. The Service Provider will work with families with multiple and complex needs, including poor school attendance/attainment, unemployment, involvement in crime or anti-social behaviour, domestic abuse, health issues and children who need help and those experiencing or at risk of experiencing neglect. The Service Provider will work with families to enable them to build upon their strengths and develop strategies to prevent breakdown.
