Description

Award of Contract. East Lothian Council’s Children’s Services require suitably trained and experienced providers to supply services to meet the needs and outcomes of children, young people and their families/carers living in East Lothian. The services consist of Family Group Decision Making; Kinship Care Support; and Advocacy and Rights Work.

Lot Division

1 Family Group Decision Making

2 Kinship Care Support

The Kinship Care Support Service will give support to those family members/friends who step in, either on a short or long term basis; to give the necessary support to their child/ young person to ensure they have dependable, enduring relationships with the adults who care for them and remain within East Lothian where possible.
3 Advocacy and Rights Work

The Advocacy and Rights provision will ensure that where it is necessary to place a child or young person in a statutory service such as being looked after at home, or within foster or residential care, either within or outwith East Lothian, their voice is heard and that they are at the centre of what is happening in their plan.
