Tender for Families First and Targeted Specialist Support for Young People

Bradford Council wish to procure a keyworker service for vulnerable families living in Bradford & District that meet the national 'Troubled Families' criteria and the locally set criteria. Providers will provide key work support through a 'Think Family Model;' with one worker, one family, one plan. This service will be a key part of the work in the Bradford District to achieve the outcomes required for families as part of the 'Troubled Families' payment by results programme. As part of the whole family approach we are also asking that Providers will provide targeted youth support for children and young people (age 8-13) within a family where additional needs have been identified . Bradford Families First aims to support families and young people who are experiencing a mixture of problems in their lives which include: • parents or children involved in crime or anti-social behaviour • children who have gone missing from home or education • children who are not attending school regularly • children who need help; that is children of all ages, who are identified as in need of a targeted early help intervention • adults out of work or at risk of financial exclusion or young people at risk of worklessness • families affected by domestic violence or abuse • parents or children with a range of physical and mental health problems • housing and debt problems • substance misuse issues
