Description

Hampshire County Council Children's Services Department are looking to establish an Open Framework under the Light Touch Regime. The council is seeking suppliers to provide skilled family intervention key workers and skilled co-ordinators to support identified families, develop and co-ordinate plans and provide evidence informed interventions to achieve key aims of the National Supporting Families Programme and successfully achieve agreed outcomes. The successful provider(s) will provide co-ordinated support to families with multiple and complex needs across Hampshire County Council area to support them to achieve significant and sustained progress, reducing the level of professional intervention required in future and to support the development of early help services. The Supporting Families Programme is a national programme designed to support families with multiple and complex needs, across the multi-agency Early Help system. The programme is a Payment by Results funded programme, which requires local authorities to achieve a set number of successful outcomes against the national framework. It is also designed to support the development of the wider early help system. The successful services would be expected to support this development and the development of the programme within Hampshire.
