Lot Division

1 Psychotherapy

Lot 1) Psychotherapy - delivery of an intervention identified as a result of an assessment, to support children and individuals to gain deeper insight into the issues they face, express and process their feelings in a safe and supportive relationship, and develop strategies to cope and heal from trauma. We expect Service Providers to hold the relevant professional qualifications from a recognised body, to deliver the identified therapeutic support.

2 Family Therapy

Lot 2) Family Therapy – delivery of an intervention identified as a result of an assessment, to identify and address issues within a family, improve communication, build stronger relationships, and enable the family to move on from their problems. We expect Service Providers to hold the relevant professional qualifications from a recognised body, to deliver the identified therapeutic support. This Lot includes Parent training courses.

3 Creative Therapy

Lot 3) Creative Therapy - delivery of an intervention identified as a result of an assessment, to offer a safe space, creative materials, and activities to help children and individuals explore, understand, and process their feelings through creative arts, and make positive changes in their life. We expect Service Providers to hold the relevant professional qualifications from a recognised body, to deliver the identified therapeutic support.

4 Specialist Assessments

Lot 4) Specialist Assessments – delivery of an assessment of need which requires a more specialist skill set or discipline which cannot be delivered within Adoption Now resources. We expect Service Providers to hold the relevant professional qualifications from a recognised body, to undertake the assessment, which must be led and delivered by a professional (professional oversight only is not permitted) and result in a therapeutic plan for a child or family.
