Teen Health Service Evaluation

Description

This is a soft market test. The Council is seeking responses from interested parties who are able to provide an evaluation service to test the efficiency of our teen health service. The purpose of this Soft Market Test (SMT) is to gather interest from the market. Leicestershire County Council and Rutland County Council are seeking to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, and impact of their Teen Health 11-19 Services, which form part of the 0-19 Healthy Child Programme (HCP). The Healthy Child Programme (HCP) aims to bring together health, education and other partners to deliver an effective programme for prevention and support. The programme provides universal support to children, young people and their families aged 0 – 19 years, and up to the age of 25 years for young people with special educational needs and / or disabilities (SEND). In December 2021, commissioning of the 0-19 Healthy Child Programme (HCP) was split into a 0-11 service and an 11-19 service for Leicestershire and Rutland. The 11-19 service is now being delivered by the Children and Family Services department at Leicestershire County Council and Living Well Rutland department at Rutland County Council. The 11-19 service is now known locally as the ‘Teen Health Service’ and has been operational since January 2023. For all aspects of the HCP, there are a number of local and national priorities that the programme is required to meet. This includes national and local high impact areas for secondary age children and young people. Keywords: teen health, public health
