Bristol Residential Children's Home

Tender description

<p>We are seeking for a provider to run a children’s home in a local authority owned property. We want to prevent our most vulnerable children from being sent across the country, breaking their support networks in the city, experiencing additional trauma, and developing heightened dysregulation through a cycle of placement moves that provide few opportunities to engage in trauma-informed therapeutic work, and to develop resilience. The intention is to award a contract with two lots, providers will be able to bid for one or both lots. Lot 1: A Tier 3.5 home to support children with significant trauma and mental health needs, who self-harm, to live in the community through a collaborative model of delivery with Health, Education and Social Care. These children will have experienced acute Health settings and require clinical and social care to enable discharge and/or to prevent hospital admission and re-admission. The property is a three bed house that will be specially adapted Lot 2: A new three bed home for adolescent boys aged 15-17+ with challenging and aggressive behaviour. This will provide a therapeutic treatment setting for restorative care, for young men with criminal justice involvement and where exploitation is part of their risk profile. The home will also include two self-contained pods in the grounds as preparation for independent living</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Interested providers are welcome to upload a short proposal indicating your interest, brief statement of purpose and preferred lot. This is not mandatory and will only be used for<br>information purposes.</p> Keywords: Children's home
