Family Support Service Framework

Description

RBG intends to bring all ‘specialisms’ under the Family Support Service Framework with different Lots. With this framework, RBG can better manage the frequency of use, the need for services and the total spend. This will result in a more responsive service and potential savings on the overspend that has been occurring in this last year. Once the framework is in place, a clearer system of our providers, referral processes and sign off from management will be developed to ensure better oversight and accountability. Lot 1: Family Support?- Family Support provided in the home and in the community, including support specifically aimed at working with fathers and young men and neurodivergent children and young people. Lot 2: Supporting Young People?- Mentoring & Direct Support for YP aged 10-18 years and up to 25 years if known to the Disabled Children and Young People service. Lot 3: Supporting Disabled Children and Young People – Support for Children and Young People with Physical Disabilities, Complex Learning Needs and/or Medicalised Health Needs Lot 4: Crisis Support?- Short term crisis intervention which is flexible and responsive to the needs of the family. Lot 5: Supervised Contact?- Supporting families with supervised contact.
