two.1.4) Short description
Adoption Tees Valley (Hosted by Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, is seeking to establish approved providers for 2 main categories of therapeutic service delivery, which will be allocated against the following LOTS:
1. Specialist Assessments
2. Therapeutic Services
Providers of Specialist Assessment services, and of Therapeutic Services are invited to submit an application to be appointed to the APL.
The intended user group is to include:
-Adopted children
-Children placed for adoption, but not yet adopted
-Children with an adoption plan, not yet placed
-Adoptive families
-Adopted adults
-Children and their families affected by special guardianship
-Those whom a Local Authority member believe would benefit from an intervention of this nature.
The requirement is to deliver services across the Tees Valley area for children who are the statutory responsibility of Adoption Tees Valley and/or the consortium members. Other Local Authorities who have placed a child for adoption in the Tees Valley area and remain responsible for adoption support under the 3-year rule, may also be invited to consider selection of a provider through this APL.
Adoption Tees Valley feel it is crucial that families are given the opportunity to participate in the selection process in deciding who they will engage with in delivery of therapeutic services, and this service specification sets out to allow for this to be an “informed choice”.
