Award of Contract - East Lothian Council - Children's Services requires an intensive support service (ISS) for children and young people in East Lothian who are at risk of being removed from their family network due to their behaviour which brings them into conflict with the law.
In response to The Promise, Children’s Services Partnership Priorities and Service Priorities for 2023/24; East Lothian Council now seeks to commission an Intensive Support Service which fits with the above strategic/ service priorities and reflects the model of provision we have been developing locally, which is:
Holistic and relational
Experienced as therapeutic
Delivered by a workforce who have skills to be persistent without stigmatising
Engages with families by empowering and respecting their agency and knowledge
Underpinned by United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)
The Service will be delivered in families’ homes and within their communities and prospective tenderers must ensure their workers are able to travel to families anywhere within the locality for which the Service is provided.
Working with children and young people considered to be on a very concerning path, the service provider will engage with children and young people for whom there is significant professional concerns and elevated risk factors. Without social work intervention coordinating a multi-agency plan for the child and family there is a high likelihood these children/young people would be placed in external to East Lothian, residential accommodation or secure accommodation.
