Family Innovation Fund (2023 - 2026): Risky Behaviours

Tender description

The Family Innovation Fund enables ECC to work with its partners in the voluntary and community sector to deliver good outcomes as early as possible. The services will not support those children, young people and families already known to and in receipt of support from specialist and statutory services, rather they will ensure delivery of support that complements, not duplicates existing services such as; • School funded support at additional levels of need • Essex Child and Family Wellbeing Service • Essex Integrated Wellbeing Service • Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service • Family Solutions By Early Intervention we mean stopping something occurring or getting worse and for the purposes of this funding will provide brief, light touch interventions that will enable children, young people, parents and carers to draw on their own resources and resilience to resolve future problems. This Grant is concerned with working with children and young people with exhibiting early signs of risky behaviours working in schools and youth settings through small group programmes. This will usually take place face to face however, it may also take place using on-line platforms if that is deemed appropriate, for example during holiday periods or weekends/evenings.
