Description
The provision of the Early Help Disability Support Service to Bridgend County Borough Council
Bridgend County Borough Council is seeking to procure an experienced provider to deliver specialist Early Help parenting support to families where there is a disabled child or children.
Eligibility for the service will be in line with criteria for the Welsh Government's Families First and Early Intervention Parenting Support Programmes.
We wish to appoint a provider that is an expert in the field. The work will involve coproducing a programme of interventions and activities which complement and work alongside the Council's own Early Help Hubs.
The key objectives of the service are:
• Provision of professional advice and guidance on managing the effects of Disability on the family. Supporting the whole family to enable them to thrive.
• Providing appropriate parenting support in relation to coping strategies for challenging behaviour.
• Promoting independence and resilience in the community.
This will be achieved primarily by the provider delivering evidence-based parenting courses, group-based workshops, and individual in-depth coaching where appropriate.
The provider will work directly with parents and families.
Parents and carers will be provided with support to share experiences and build peer networks, reducing isolation and strengthening family resilience.
Contract term: 24 calendar months from 1st April 2026, with the option to extend up to a further 24 months.
