Tender description

The service will provide individual brief counselling (up to 12 sessions) and group interventions to women from South Asian and Minority Ethnic (BME) background experiencing and affected by emotional, physical, psychological and sexual abuse and exploitation.

The provider will operate as an integral part of the IAPT service and adhere to its performance, operational, and safeguarding standards.
