Welfare services for children and young people

Tender description

Contact Activity provisions were introduced into private law — where divorced/separated parents are in dispute over arrangements concerning their child — through The Children and Adoption Act 2006 in December 2008. These provisions are designed to promote, encourage and ensure that children are able to maintain a relationship with both parents in a post-separation context. The Child Arrangements Programme — 2014 (CAP) applies where a dispute arises between separated parents and/or families about arrangements concerning children. The CAP is designed to assist families to reach safe and child-focused agreements for their child, where possible out of the court setting. If parents / families are unable to reach agreement, and a court application is made, the CAP encourages swift resolution of the dispute through the court. CAFCASS Cymru have developed a modular programme Working Together for Children(WT4C), that seeks to affect the way that parents think and therefore behave in relation to contact following a relationship breakdown, in order that contact is a positive experience for the child. The Welsh Government are seeking to establish a framework agreement for regional delivery of the WT4C programme in response to referrals from CAFCASS Cymru when ordered to do so by the court.
