Fresh Start Service

Tender description

Women who have previously had children removed are supported to make sustainable change to address the multiple and complex risks in their lives e.g., substance misuse, mental health, domestic abuse, parenting capacity, adverse childhood experiences and unsafe housing conditions. The objective is intervention at a point when women have no children in their care to support them to take control of their lives and develop new skills and responses. Lot 1: Support for women who have had a child/children removed from their care, by the Local Authorities, sadly this could be for a number of reasons; failure on the mothers part to meet the child's basic physical and psychological needs which could be as a result of physical/sexual/emotional abuse, drug/alcohol misuse, abandonment, neglect, incarceration or for any other safeguarding concerns for the baby/child.
