The Family Support Service Framework includes universal services at children’s centres; youth provision; evidence based parenting sessions; mentoring programmes; group based provision for young people; support for young people at risk of worklessness; Database management services and Tracking and Survey Activities Relating to Young People’s Participation in Employment, Education or Training.
Reason for urgency:
The Family Support Services deliver critical services to children, families and young people. The current contracts are due to expire in February 2018, and new contract arrangements from this point are essential for the effective mobilisation of the Family Support Service and the associated transfer of Early Help services from the Council. Due to the mandatory standstill period, and the time required to enter into Framework Agreement, to conduct mini-competitions and mobilisation to ensure the services are fully operational to support children, families and young people, an Urgent Decision is required.
