Support for Families in Crisis or Affected by Care Proceedings

Bristol City Council seeks market interest for a service supporting families in crisis or at risk of care proceedings/child removal in Bristol. The service aims to improve outcomes, reduce social care involvement, and decrease children entering care. It must comprise three distinct elements forming an overall delivery model. Providers need a demonstrable track record in all three elements, an existing stable volunteer base in Bristol for immediate referrals, and ability to support families with complex needs (e.g., families in crisis, step-down from fostering, care leavers, post-care proceedings).
