Tier 2 Community Family Support Service

Tender description

For the avoidance of doubt this is not a Call for Competition, this is to give Prior Notice of an upcoming tender exercise subject to approvals. The council are seeking to commission a Tier 2 Community Family Support Service that will deliver Whole Family Support and provide support early on for Families with children aged 0-19years (up to 25 for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). The Family's needs will be varied and require support at Tier 2 of the Staffordshire Safeguarding Children's Board Threshold (available on the safeguarding boards website). The support provided is intended to identify and build upon the Families' strengths to improve the life of the Family, grow their independence and resilience, and avoid reliance on services. The Service will consider the needs and strengths of the whole Family and be delivered through a Lead Worker model. This service will contribute to the national Early Help agendas, such as Building Resilient Families & Communities (BRFC) programme, which is Staffordshire's approach to the national Supporting Families Programme and Family Hubs.
