Tender description

Parenting Support Service Tender NHS Dorset CCG is inviting expressions of interest from suitable providers for the provision of a service to provide parenting support interventions across Dorset, Bournemouth and Poole.

The Service shall deliver three key elements of provision within a single overarching service. Element 1: ? Provision of an effective targeted training/education, support, information and relevant advice service to parents with children aged between 2 and 12 in Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole who are experiencing issues associated with conduct disorders. ? The service will comply with the relevant requirements to support families within the NICE Clinical Guidance (CG) 158: Antisocial behaviour and conduct disorders in children and young people: recognition, intervention and management, (March 2013) as well as relevant guidance. ? While support shall predominantly utilise group-based programmes it shall also provide appropriate 1 to 1 support mechanisms with families who are unable to engage in group work. All interventions shall be based upon an assessment of the individual needs of parents and shall operate as part of a graded and developmental approach to meeting these needs where appropriate. Element 2: ? Provision of a parenting programme based service within the Borough of Poole area for parents of children aged 0-5 ? The Service shall provide targeted, evidence-based Incredible Years group parenting programmes to families with children aged 0-5 who are struggling with their parenting skills and are assessed as having needs at the ?Universal Plus? or ?Partnership Plus? level. ? The Service shall be delivered in conjunction with Poole Children?s Centres and all parenting groups shall be co-facilitated by a Provider member of staff and an experienced Children?s Centre worker. Wherever possible, programmes shall be delivered within a Children?s Centre. Element 3: ? Provision of an evidence-based group-work approach to working with families with additional and/or complex needs related to the parenting of children aged 13-18 within the Borough of Poole area. Families will have needs judged to be at the ?Universal Plus? or ?Partnership Plus? level. ? The Service shall provide evidence-based group work programme at its core; additional activity to complement the chosen programme is encouraged. This additional activity could be group work or 1:1 activity and we are interested in tenders that show innovation and creativity that can show demonstrable impact upon families and teenagers. All activity should seek and take account of families? needs and preferences regarding timing and venues.
